Hello,

I have some extremely minor body damage to my front clam, a one inchish scratch and damaged defendall.

Anywhere inb or around Edi where they couldk repair? I have the touch up paint, it will require a square of defendall to be cut out, and the area sorted.

Gary, there is sense in what my state-leeching friend says. You will get more scratches in the front clam, so I'd wait until they were proper noticable until I got something done about it. If its not through the paint, you could try some Meguire's ScratchX or Autoglym Super Resin Polish to buff it out - Polished Bliss will know what to do :)

I'm still employed by the worlds 2nd largest professional services firm, and at no point have I "state-leached"

Or if it is bad - try Chipsaway - they do all sorts of minor scratch repair, and they'll come to you

If the scratch is in the defendall, it can't be that bad anyway. Leave it.

I took my 120 bar pressure washer to a stubborn but very dead fly.

I had been cleaning the car for a good 40 min, I was just going over all the stubborn bits. This fcuk dead fly would not move for love nor money, it was stuck good and proper. I just let rip with the pressure washer and in an instant, I could see white.

Is that not what you pay your £2k pa for?

Speak to the polished bliss people about how they would recommend you'top up' their treatments yourself - I would wager a 40bar pressure washer wouldn't feature! If you've got stubborn bits, Sanjoy recommends using a claybar.
