Scratched Hab Door

[houdini]

Hab door on our 2005 Adria Coral 680SL is very scratched.

Is there anything we can use on it please to make it look better?

Deep scratches or superficial? (photo?)

Sorry can’t do photo as van at storage.
Lots of scratches but not very deep - if that helps.

How deep are the scratches, is the metal underneath showing? Have you tried polishing out with tcut?

Cut your fingernails.

Try Farecla G3 rubbing compound, like T Cut, but better.

Don’t think so. Haven’t tried anything yet - will Tcut take much paint off? Already had to respray the Fiat Ducato cab because the paint round the doors had flaked off to the base. Interested to know if there are any products available which will improve the door’s appearance without doing too much harm.

Thank you, sounds good, where do you get it from?

One of the wax polish companies (think its Turtle Wax) sell a bottle of coloured liquid polish to match your paintwork with a little "chipstick" attached. Its like a lipstick and fills in scratches before applying the polish. I've used it in the past and it does work with a bit of perseverance. Try Halfords.

Wrap it with vinyl or a large decal?

Hadn’t thought of that.
We are missing most of the Adria decals, including the biggish ones on either side. Doesn’t bother me but not sure if a future purchaser would want them replaced, gather they are quite expensive.
