Car repair advice

Scuffs and scrapes
If not too serious, these can often be removed by careful polishing with a mild abrasive like T Cut.

Chips and dings
Stone chips, in bodywork and windscreens, can usually be repaired, but it’s best to use an expert. If you have a large scrape that needs repainting, it may affect the manufacturers paint warranty, so use a repairer who includes a guarantee. Remember, Privilege repair windscreen chips for free - and it won't affect your no claims discount!

Spring clean the interior
Upholstery cleaners contain a foam shampoo that avoids over-wetting. Use a stiff brush to work it deep into the cloth. They also leave a degree of stain protection and help to remove stale odours. Special glass cleaners restore the sparkle to your windows inside and out, and help to prevent condensation. You can also buy special cleaners for leather or plastic dashboards and trim.

Remember – you don’t have to be posh to have a nice, shiny car!
