After it looks clear with a wipe, dry, polish a couple of times. Dont let the polish dry, wax and seal. Will look like brand new.

The results I've had from a local company coming to the house and doing it on the drive have been remarkable, damage incurred on the garage brickwork and a lot worse than yours.
Sounds good, I don't mind paying for a perfect job. Thanks for that. :thumbsup:

Derbyshire Lynchy, shame, I would have given you a shout if I was nearer. Having said that, the car is on Baker St London, if I bought it how far are you away from central London?

Can you do "old" paint Lynchy? It has always irritated me that on my 1993 Golf, a 2 inch wheel arch scratch was touched up 22 years ago with a touch up stick that is not perfect.
