My Body Shop Bloke Told Me This Off the Record. I Cancelled My £2,000 Repair. | Motoring Insider Daily

As seen online:

“I started with the worst scratch — a deep one running down the passenger door that I was sure wouldn't come out. I rubbed the cloth over it. It felt slightly rough, like very fine sandpaper, but not abrasive. After about 45 seconds, I could already see the scratch starting to fade. I kept going for another 15 seconds, then stopped. I set a timer on my phone for 30 minutes and went inside. When I came back out with a damp microfibre cloth, I wiped the area clean. The scratch was gone.”
