Stupidly i managed to catch my rear bumper of my A500 on my work van earlier.... :-(
luckly my car is dirty from the weekend and i havent washed my van from ages and it just scrapped the dirt which pretty much washed out, leaving a slight mark.
So i thought i put some polish on, which i really struggled to buff off because i could see the polish on my white car, so i was wandering is there any special polishes for white cars that shows up until you buff it off?

Good question. I too want to know this too, it's a real pain to spot whats been buffed up and what hasn't!

I was told you can get black car polish, although I can't remember who told me.  |

Joe you can get that car wax in colours that are supposed to colour in paint chips. They do one in black.

Martin, Yep I've seen those  I thought Trigzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz was after some coloured polish so that he could see it on his white car, as a method of preventing him missing patches etc. I've forgotten to buff my wing mirrors on several occasions as the polish I use simply doesn't show up on white surfaces. Perhaps Trigzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz could confirm this for us? |
