Hello all, any tips / products for polishing out surface scratches? Porsche offered me this ⬇
Costs a fortune to get it done professionally in Switzerland and I’ll surely get some more so just want to touch them up for now. Tks

How deep is the scratch, is it just the clear coat?
If the scratch doesn't catch your nail, then you should be able to buff it out with some scratch remover (Meguiars Ultimate Compound, AutoGlym Paint Renovator.etc), followed by some polish and a bit of elbow grease!

What he said - might help us too if ye cleaned the dang area first so we can tell the scratches from said dirt! - just yanking your chain :)

Do you not have any good detailer that could have a look at that.

Porsche product you have shown will give you a nice shine, but will not “dull” down the scratches.

See if you find any detailer that uses Gtechniq or PPF.

I’d literally just washed it and we had a storm… priority has moved to polishing the scratches out of junior ?
