Dear forum, for half a year I have been driving a Golf 6 which I bought as a “world car” (quasi annual car). Now it has unfortunately happened and I discovered yesterday at the tailgate the or the scratches that can be seen in the photos (please excuse the dirt on the vehicle, I hope you can still recognize it). Since then this flaw marts my brain… I assume that I pulled it in a wash road. Although I am – because I thought I would go to the Lack et what good things do – driven into a plant with microfiber lamella instead of bristles, but before you drive in, employees spray off the car already. Last time, one of these employees wiped off my loading edge/stock bar with a sponge on a telescope rod – probably he pushed nicely to the tailgate and left his traces with the sponge version or the like. So anyway, my guess. Of course, I can’t prove it. Since the whole thing was already a few weeks ago, I will probably have to check out any claims. So I turn to the pros looking for help. 🙂 Can you judge by the photo’s hand whether it is still a superficial scratch, or is it already missing color? My observation as an absolute layman(!): I can easily feel the scratch with the fingernail (*swallow*), but if I moisten it, it is almost ve Is there a polish that you can recommend to me as an undescribed sheet in terms of polishing? I would like to thank you very much for the help and to finish with the FAQ. Dear greetings Motorschrauber – Manufacturer? VAG – Type? Golf 6 – Color? Shadow Blue – Metallic (j/n)? j – Age of the vehicle? almost 2 years – Care history in a few words, like e.g. “Until now approx. all 3 Where I have had it for half a year and was 3 times in the washing machine (microfibre lamella); however, as the previous owner handled it, I do not know. Otherwise no care. Garage car. – Description Condition, like e.g. “many washing machine strips, burnt in front insects, about 3cm long scratches in bonnet, wheel runs made of plastic”. Except for the annoying scratches in the rear flap the condition is very good. Swirls If you look carefully, you can see, but not very striking (for a layman, like me). Otherwise, he only has a very light hologram on a fender (3cm diameter). – Previously used polish/paint cleaner? none (at least not by me) – Previously used wax/sealing? none (at least not by me) – What is there to date on car care products that could be used further? from the family circle I could get a polish(?) “in car color”, but have no idea from which manufacturer; 2 microfiber cloths; (insect remover 05332000 by Sonax) – Budget: What do you want to invest maximum for the upcoming action on care expenditure (except pain limit and please definitely call an amount in euros)? in the short term I would like to remove the disturbing scratch for up to 50 EUR; in the long term I could imagine to invest 100 EUR to be prepared for upcoming smaller blessurs – Comes a professional paint brush after the car purchase I have unfortunately no longer available, therefore I would like the damage – if it is possible – to work by hand – Does the purchase of a polishing machine (power socket required!) with appropriate professional means come in question (several hundred euros, but if necessary lasts several years)? no – Do you regularly drive through a Waschanlag e and do you have that further, or is it possible to do hand wash? after my experience I will definitely switch to hand wash – If hand wash, where do you plan to do it (e.g. own driveway or nearby SB washbox? Can you tap water there or do you have to bring it?)? own driveway – How much time is provided per week (approximately) for car care? 2h – How often per year are you ready to conserve (grown or sealed)? 2x – Where do you come from (Approximate R) egion is enough. Perhaps an experienced user is close to you, who can support you with advice and action. This is a voluntary statement, you don’t have to answer here.)? Oberhausen, NRW – What should be achieved? first of all, it would be optimal if the scratch could be removed above all; otherwise it should be mitigated as well as possible; then: 1) Good shine with extremely long protection, products with long service life and as little work as possible
