Perhaps you need to step-up the abrasive level a tad. I'd try T-cut next to see how that fairs.

We had a coach at work that had been badly scratched. It was repaired by the guy that covers in tiny chips in the screen. It only took 5 minutes and looked like new. I will ask when I go back to work what they used.

I got some scratch-x to do my car tomorrow when I clean it (hopefully no rain!) would that work? Im sure the T-Cut I have is coloured and its black?!

Rain Rain Rain, well I shampooed the car and thats it! Its raining, typical! Out of interest how do you remove the rear spoiler? There are seeds and leaves stuck under it and I can't shift them!

Is that the lip spoiler or the biggee?

For the big one you will have to remove the boot lid liner and then release the bolts.
I'll have to look up in the Haynes manual how to release the lip spoiler. Not much of a job though.

Lip spoiler removal:- Plagiarised from Haynes manual.
1. The boot lid spoiler is secured by a nut and bolt at each end and by strips of double sided tape.
2. Open the boot lid, remove the rubber plug under the spoiler at each end.
3. Remove the the nut and bolt at each end of the spoiler.
4. Close the boot lid and carefully peel the spoiler off the boot lid.
5. Clean up thoroughly and renew tape before refitting.

I've referred to it endlessly and posted lots of snippets on here. Well worth the money IMO.
