Question
Hi, ive just bought a 2005 ford focus zetec however there is
a small series of scratches above the front drivers wheel
arch resembling a scuff. What would be the best way to have
this fixed and how much would i be looking at?also there are
2 cigarette burns in the back which i dont know how to fix
so was also wandering if you could help?thanks

Answer
I am unsure of the type of paint that is being used in the UK.

I would seek advice from a body or paint shop. If it's a clearcoat paint finish and the scratches aren't to deep than wet sanding or buffing may do the trick.

As for the burns, find a good upholstery shop to repair the holes.

Neither one of these items to fix should be to costly.

I hope this helps in your quest to repair the car.

Thanks,

Bob
