Hey all.
I have an EF which is navy blue (has metallic specs thru it) I think the paint code is N9??? Anyways, my dog managed to get up on the car the other week and spend the day roaming around the whole exterior of the car. Now I have a very very scratched car. Just wondering if I can get some ideas on the best way to get my paint back to a reasonable finish? I used a T'Cut colour fast cutting polish on it, and that has made it a little better, but still not great..... My problem is the type of pain on the car is very hard to work with. Help me??

ScratchX by Meguairs is gold, which should be finished up with some polish. If that doesn't work, then the scratch must be pretty deep.. Let us know.

How much would that be? How long would it take?

Sounds nasty mate
If you can feel the scratches with your fingernail, you can't get rid of them A machine buff would probably be best as it would be alot of work by hand Just make sure that whoever does it buffs in side to side motions as a buff or hand in circular equals big time holograms which are the pits. Ever thought of coating your glass. A claying, polishing with Autosmart glass glow or Poorboys World Pro Polish, scratch removal with Poorboys SSR range and then clearkote vanilla moose hand glaze and either Klasse acrylic sealant glaze or Poorboys EXP pure sealant is wicked on glass. Clearkote chocolate moose wax is great on top of EXP too and front bumpers to make bugs slide off with just water and a cloth Alot of steps but doesn't take that long. I have done that to my glass and after every wash, another coat of EXP. Did 3,000 km's last week to gilgandra NSW and after a detail on monday, you wouldn't think I went anywhere. Glass is ultra slick too. Won't need to use your wipers again afterwards either which is a bonus (unless it's a darwin or gold coast style tropical storm)
