My Ride: On Order, due in May - 2007MY 530D SE, Silver Grey, Black Dakota, Auto, Brushed aluminium shadowline,sports seats / wheel, hi fi speakers, mats, space saver wheel and a few more bits
Default

My 3 year old A4 is being returned in a 3 weeks upon delivery of my first ever BMW, a 530 D SE

I have generally kept the A4 scratch free and stone chips are barely noticable (Akoya Silver), however, a "non deliberate" scratch has appeared that I need to get out so I don't get a bill from the finance company (I need to find a ?2,000 deposit for the E60 and don't want to spend money on the old car)

Can anyoune help with simple, not deep sctatch removal using a material that is not body colour - I would like to use anything bought for repairing any "God Forbid" scratches on the new E60 - (if I get any)

Here in the US we have several companies that are very good at "airbrushing" scratches. I've had it done on a couple of lease vehicles before returning, and unless you look really, really close you can't tell. I would think there would be companies like that over where you are as well.......good luck!

Any quality auto fixing/painting shop should be able to help you for less than ?100.
