    Anyone used them? I keep seeing the ad where the guy fixes the scratch on the front wing in a jiffy. Do they even offer this service in Ireland?

    What Colm said. It's frightening to think they let these guys loose installing stereos and pdc. I watched a guy brace his foot against a seat when pulling at the dashboard forcibly because he didn't know where the retention clips were.

    How deep is the scratch? Alot of the time parking scuffs/light sratches can be taken out without having to put paint near the car.

    If the scratch isn't gone thru the paintwork it can often be polished out with a polishing cream (usually something with aluminium oxide in it) and a lot of elbow grease.

    Thanks chaps, the scratch is quite deep. Had the hard top from the wife's SL in the shed over the summer and something must have whacked off it.
    I'd imagine it's a respray then?
