I've been offroading in too narrow dirt roads making branches scratchinig my paint. Any tips to remove them? No deep scratches, but plenty very light ones. |

I have tried Dr. Colorchip, and it worked great on my Stornoway Grey LR2. They are advertised in all the American automotive publications, and I'd highly recommend their product, but don't know of their availability overseas (from the States). In either case, you can check out their site:

I have read about it, not so much for bramble rash but more in relation to stone chips

Haven't yet taken the time to get any of the products. Maybe just get the dealer to polish it out.

Just been outside and took a couple of paint thickness readings Unlacquer 59um Lacquered 118-131um Taking in to account a machine polish can remove 2-10um of lacquer and the difference won't all be just lacquer as there may be mire primer/paint on the panel than the unlacquered panel, you do have a bit of lacquer to play with But then again it depends on how deep the scratch is and you don't want to leave too thin a layer of lacquer as this can lead to failing over time due to it's thinness Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis |

Call me un-educated but how do you measure the thickness of something like paint without cutting into it???? There's always a way forward!
