Paint

[wally_j]

Since buying my black Lupo last month, I've noticed that the paintwork has swirls in it, like someone has washed it with a scouring pad. It is only noticeable in bright sunlight or at night under a streetlamp, but I'd still like to get it sorted - short of a full respray, can anyone recommend anything?

Thanks,

People seem to rave about Maguires 'Clay'

It removes all old wax and road grime, brings the paintwork back to new so Ive heard.

mines the same, got some bad scratches aswell, been told that clay is good and theres always `T-Cut`. gonna spend some time in the summer gettin the paint work back to wat it shud be.

sounds like the cars been mopped if it has swirls in it ,its usually from cutting paste it shouldnt need painting a good polish with some decent stuff should do it

i had this on my black arosa.....get yourself to halfords - turtle wax do a black wax (it comes with a chip ctick thing on the side i think theyre called colourmagin or summin).....give the car a going over with this every couple of months itll look fantastic. makes the paint really smooth.

you can go to a bodyshop and get the car mopped for around £50. It a cutting compound that brings the rest of the paintwork up to the standard of any repairs you have had done.
