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?

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

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  Thumb Up

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?
