Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Sounds like Snake Oil and unlikely to be any way effective. Post a link to this 'wonder' product and people here will be able to help you.

    Also some pics of the damage, good bodywork isn't cheap.

    These ads are made to trick those of us looking for a quick fix and who don't have in-depth knowledge, if any, of how much work it takes to remove scratches/marks on cars. You can't remove a scratch where the paint has been removed with a spray. It's total and utter bullsh!t.

    What they do in those ads is make marks using chalk etc. along with having a perfectly prepped car covered in fake dust so that it looks immaculate after a spray of their snake oil product and a wipe.

    Edit: They didn't even take enough care with their pictures/naming to get it right. Can anyone spot the mistake?

    Right side is actually the coated side?

    here are 2 pics of the doors with a scratch on each. its a black civic door. was wondering even if i used an aerosol can and some lacquer would it take the look off it, or would it be too noticeable when done against the original black colour on the doors

    Where are you based?

    The surrounding paintwork looks to be in good condition so I would suggest you bring it to a good detailing company and have the scratches polished out. Using aerosols is going to be a proper mess.
