I had some pretty nasty scratches/stone chips, a bit of TLC and some T-cut and everything is OK, all ready for the summer now.

ok so keeping your car in the garage all winter is a way of stopping the scratches...................
but then you don't get to drive the car for fear of scratch it !!!!! -------------------- Life is for living, and you don't get a second chance Take care now !! |
