Smothed the area off wit some 500 grit wet&dry and primed. While it was drying i Polished the entire car with SRP.

After I painted the scuff looks 100 times better now. And finshed by polishing the car again and applying meg nxt gen wax.

Rolled outside for all the afters.

It does look fantastic.

Didn't even think it looked too dirty in the 'before' pics... but then I did think those wheels had a light anthracite finish until I saw the 'after' shots!

My mate Russ used to own that car.

Quick for a 1.8T, looks the nuts as well.
 
Sweet looking motor! Think I will have to give mine a good clean.......WHEN I can get it out the garage!! as the builders doing the loft conversion put their skip in front the garage doors. Luckily the missus never uses her car so it looks like I have to endure her Micra for the next 4 weeks AGHHHHH!!!!
