    How Am I going To Get This Out :-(

    Thanks for all the replies guys ;) I took it to a body shop today (he's also a mate) and he said that he will be able to sort it out no problem and he would prefer to fix my wing rather that replace it as there's a better chance of the paintwork matching. Ill let you know how it turns out.

    Scuff ?

    I've been adding paint mate and the original scuff is more or less non existent now. I just cant get the paint blend on this new problem without taking the paint down so far the primer shows through :( Do you think i would have more luck getting the paint smooth using a rubbing compound...

    Preventing the cat next door from ................ !!

    I remember years ago there was something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cat-Scratch-Repellent-No-Scratch-Spray-/260774844687?pt=UK_Pet_Supplies_Cats&hash=item3cb764590f And it had no scent to humans but kept cats away. I think pet shops sold it ;)

    Best Wax?

    Its not really a case of “whats better” between them as they do different jobs. Polish has a bit of cut to it so as in the name it polishes....lol Where as wax is more of a protector, if that make sense ....... If you polish the car then you really should was it after (but then...
