    Hi folks,

    I have plenty of smallish scratches and "chips" around the car, some quite unsighly. I was wondering if there'd be a way to at least partially repair them.

    What I'm looking for:

    - "Buffing out" tiny scratches and marks; I regularly use Super Resin Polish, but it merely hides some of them. Is there any buffing product you'd recommend for the task?

    - Stone chipping retouching: i've never done anything like this, some people advocate the use of "chip repair kits" sold by the car's paint colour code (Alfa Romeo 583/A). I've seen some clips on youtube (for a black BMW) and they seem very effective, any experience(s) with them? Particular recommendations?

    Cheers!

    The permanent fix for the scratches and marks is to have the paintwork machine polished. Maintaining it afterwards using the Two Bucket Method, a good wash mitt and microfiber drying towel.

    The stone chips can be filled with the kits as you say, layer until proud of the surface, then sanded back and the whole area polished.

    Doing the stone chips and polishing as one job would be the ideal solution, but it would be a big job, and pricey if you were getting a pro to do it.
