Take it back and show them the scratches before you do anything, then complain.

Thast's what I'd do at least.

If there fine scratches use some polish and try polishing them out, if that doesnt help try t-cut and polishing it.
Hope this helps

Shotgun, Noose around their necks, make them watch only way is essex on a endless loop.
Any of those will get rid of them.


Oh!!!! you mean the scratches. Still anyone scratches my car I still go with the above.

If these people you took the car too are professionals, they'll have insurance to cover this sort of thing, whilst getting them to admit liability won't be an easy thing, one aspect you have in your favour is that your car is new to you.

I'd be telling them the dealer/previous owner is willing to provide proof the car wasn't scratched when you picked it up and, given the short time you've had it, it's unlikely those scratches were caused by you. Additionally, I'd be asking the valeting people why they didn't draw your attention to the scratches at the point where you picked the car up, if they had nothing to hide, there'd be no reason for them not to point them out to you.

You've got nothing to loose by challenging them.

If you took your car to a hand car wash then forget 9 times out of 10 they won't do anything, if you went to a car wash like Arc then they should sort it out for you as its there fault and there all covered by insurance

if its just light scuffs just get yourself some t-cut it will take them out no problem

t-cut works wonders, it wont ruin the paint, just follow the instructions and you can't go wrong

na no need to be worried about it if its only a light scratch it will only take a few seconds to clear up if its deep it will take a bit longer, but it really dose work wonders!!

hmmmm yeah they wouldnt do much you really need to get t-cut that would do it no problem,
generally you rub it in until it drys to a haze, leave it for a few mins and buff it off,
the light scratches really you should see a difference after about 30 seconds to a min of rubbing in the t-cut

i have just used auto glym paint renovator worked fine for me got rid of all my light scratches

didn't take anytime at all just some parallel rubbing and they disappeared i was surprised how quickly and easily they went

Hmm. I've acquired myself some scratching on my bonnet. I have some Auto Glym Paint Renovator in the garage, I'll have a crack with it.

This could effect the whole part....

For scratches I am using 1Z products. first I apply 1Z yellow cream (its thicker and does most of the job) and rub slightly in circular movements with a cotton cloth and then I apply 1Z green cream (more like polishing and protecting) and first time I used them I was amazed by the result!!

.

What are you using to put the polish on with, micro fibre? old sock?
Super Resin polish is could but it has silicone fillers in it so will mask some scratches but obviously next time you wash it will appear again.
Your really going to struggle to remove scratches totally by hand
