citroen xsara picasso scratches

[scantronic]

Hi
I have a citroen xsara picasso in storm grey which is like a metallic graphite colour and there are a few small scratches on the car and I was wondering if the scratch remover pen from jml will work to remove the scratches as it is quite cheap or a touch up pen from the citroen dealer

thanks

You can buy touch up "pens" from ebay for about £4, made to the car's paint code. I say "pens" cos they're more like a nail varnish bottle with the little brush on the inside of the lid.

Ok thanks will take a look

Just before you dive in, just ensure the scratches are actually down the the metal or primer before touching up with paint.....there's a fair chance that it's just the lacquer that's scratched and requires polishing, rather than paint.

Good luck in using them though.

I tried touching up some chips on my Milano red Civic and it was crap !

I have to agree there.....maybe the odd stone chip, but as for scratches......it'll make them look worse.
Miracle scratch remover pens and so on are worse than useless.

I will have a good look at the scratches tomorrow as its pouring down with rain at the moment and I polished it about a week ago I will try touch up

thanks again
