Hi, I'm a newbie to this forum, so please be nice to me!
I've had my LC4 for 3 years now (car actually 5 years old) and am absolutly loving it (having saved up for about 12 years in the first place!!)
It's well loved and also well used, so the paintwork has some general scratches in various places, and I've managed to catch the front wheel arch several times on the garage (only 2cm clearance so can be tricky!). What's the best way to give it an all over spruce up?
I've tried general car polish and Mer, which is quite good, but not sure if I should be using a compound and then a more specialised polish on top? Or should I just get it done professionally? Not sure if this will be pricy though.
The leather work could also do with a bit of TLC in a couple of places, especially on the drivers side where it gets scuffed on the edge getting in an out.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers
