| | Posted : 17 Sep 2013 - 08:23 Post title : Re: SCRATCHES (Re: sunnyday) | | | I use 'Mother's California Gold Scratch Remover' to initially remove all scratches.
Followed up by 'Mother's California Gold Micro Polish'.
Then followed up by 'Mother's California Gold Pure Brazilian Carnauba Wax'.
I run through this process every 6-12 month and not a single swirl or scratch to been seen.
Well worth the elbow grease.
