Any scratch removal ideas?

Trawled the internet for ideas on removing unsightly scratches from panels. Tried everything from Poorboys SSR to TCut to Meguiars but not much difference as far as I'm concerned.
Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated!
I wouldn't bother with Chips Away if you live in Cornwall, either. They really don't want my money no matter what. Endless calls and reminders. Many promises but nothing. Guess they don't like bikes...

You should PM Jimmy996, he has a ChipsAway franchise, and last time I checked he definately liked bikes.....even ones with green frames.

Sorry to hear nobody is getting back to you mate, as a matter of interest who are you calling? they may not even be there anymore as we have had a few pack up in Cornwall, I am a member of the Franchisee liaison group so would be interested to know who it is!

Post up a pic of the damage and I will give you an idea of price, you can come to me for a "while you wait" service if you like

Cheers Jimmy, I'll post you some piccies shortly. First time I tried I emailed via the website, no response. I then called a week or too later and arranged for a chap to visit but alas he never showed. I rang again and I'm guessing it was his wife, said not a problem I'll arrange for him to visit again and we'll ring to confirm the next best time......last I heard!!
So there you go.
Where are you based?

hmmmmm

the head office leads would be sent directly to the nearest franchisee, so he is at fault on both counts, do you have a name?

I am in Torquay mate

Nope, no names at all just that he's from Padstow, that's all. Nevermind, his loss I suppose.
I'm in Launceston and work takes me up as far as Newton Abbot on Fridays if I can drop the panels off with you perhaps? If you can't travel this far down. I'd ride too you but my downpipes are like a pepperpots at the mo and desperately trying to find replacements!!
Anyway, start by giving me an idea on price. The scratch under the indicator is the biggest so if you can quate me with and without that one being done.
Sorry for the crap pics too, it was lashing it down so had to take them in a hurry!!
Do you have an email address I can send pics too? My files are too big to send via the forum.

Cheers

Si
