Hi all, I have a few scratches on the Disco from green laning. Lookedlovely when we first got it but a few years of off-roading and it's nowlooking quite tired, see pics .. the scratches are everywhere includingthe roof, some down to primer, a couple down to metal. It's been likethis since I got it as it was always intended as anoff-roader/green-laner rather than just to tow the caravan .. ;)?t=1254128159Can anyone explain in easy (like I've never properly washed a car asI've always had company cars and used car washes at garages) terms howI might go about removing the scratches? Is it something a novice cando? What sort of cost would a body shop (or anyone for that matter)charge to get rid of the scratches and get it looking reasonable? Isthere a good website or forum for this sort of thing? I've been toldT-cut, but I have absolutely no experience of paint finishes, waxes,polishes or even cleaning cars at all, and I'd like to do it correctlyat least once in its life. I always jet-wash it after an off-roadingsession, but that's more to get mud off from underneath as it'sactually well-maintained and kept in good fettle, just doesn't lookit!!. (Hopefully that keeps the tea-leaves away)Reason being a friend is getting married in January and wants the Disco(He's a Landrover nut) in the wedding 'train' (something like 12, maybemore, Landrovers of various flavours) to carry bridesmaids, familymembers etc. ;)I don't expect I can get it done myself in a weekend, but can see medoing a panel at a time maybe, hence why I'm asking now, not a weekbefore I need it.Cheers .. ;)

The only one habitually screaming and acting like a drunk on a street corner is you, Toomy. Oh, and of course you're also the habitual liar and incoherent f****it.

Go on, tell everyone how you bought a TDV8 Range Rover a year before it went on sale.

Unrelated but some scumbag that works for me has hit both doors on the RR and *NOT* owned up to. Can't believe I am going to have to scan all the CCTV footage. One of the scratches is 40cm long and 1cm high!

Not a happy bunny.
