    Dealership has mullered my paint - advice on recourse?

    So van went in to tackle my leaking drivers door, and has come back with what I can only describe as a scouring pad wash. The swirling and scratches is insanity. To top this off, I only just had the van detailed and ceramic coated last week. Wondered what steps I should take, as I want them...

    Bodywork scratch

    Hi, Just got back from a 2 week road trip in France. A lovely trip ended on a sour note when a #%^* head opened their door onto the side of my van when parked up in the ferry. The van that hit mine was an Enterprise hire van and I have the number plate. When confronting the person saying...

    Self inflicted...

    So it started out as a small scuff on the passenger's side rear wheel arch and gradually grew to this. I could not figure out where the damage was coming from until today when I noticed that the sliding door interior panel had a small scuff mark. Slid the door open slowly and lo and behold the...

    Our Caravelle was keyed down in Bournemouth while we were at the beach. Drivers door and offside electric slider both scratched. I originally thought it was down to the metal but on closer inspection, I dont think it is. Any recommendations on best way to get fixed?

    Scratch... what did you do to remedy yours?

    Annoyingly, some d*ck has scratched my arch when they were trying to park. Initially, it looked really bad but when cleaned it appears the white markings were his paint that has shaved onto my black arch. The scratches seem minimal and confined to just an inch along the arch for maybe 6 inches...

    Removing magnetic GB sticker!?

    Hi, Don’t believe I’m really asking this, but we’ve had a GB sticker on the back of our van for just a year - magnetic so it would be easy to remove. I discovered today that the sticker’s backing has fused itself onto the tailgate, so much for it being removable (thanks H***ords :mad:). See...

    T6 Paint scratches really easily

    I’ve got a new VW T6 Caravelle in black and after two washes, one through the drive through and one with a brush and jet wash, it’s covered in small scratches and a couple of big ones. At first I thought it was bad luck and there must have been grit or brake particles on the brush, but now I...

    That'll Polish Out Mate.

    So I've got one or two surface scratches on the van and most people I've spoken to have said they'll polish out. What do I need to polish them out. Can I use T-Cut? I've heard you shouldn't use it on metallic paint. Is that right?
