    Scratched carbon door card

    I have just noticed a scratch on my drivers door card to say im gutted is an understatement, it's not a bad one but its there! Whats the best way to remove this?

    Might be worth getting in contact with a car detailer in your area who has experience with a machine polisher, I would think that if the scratch isn't too deep that this could be polished out by a professional.

      Yes it can be sanded down with wet and dry 2000 then polished up as long as you know what you are doing or leave it to a pro as its around 4k a panel :banghead:

        If the scratch isn't too deep it will polish out with a machine:thumbs:

            How deep/large is it? I've polished scratches out of glass with brasso before...

                      As a yoof, I had a yellow Mk IV spitfire, one of the few cars I sold on at a profit.
                      Used to blow a fuse if you turned on the fan whilst the wipers were on.

                      Overdrive in 3 and 4th gear was impressive though.

                      Overdrive - home many members remember that!

                            Scratches in Glass, I was once given a trade secret by the chap in Kendals Manchester who did all the engraving - 'fag ash' mixed with a little water to form a paste and then Brasso to finish.
                            He swore by it, claimed it saved his life on many an occasion.:thumbs:
