Trying to remove a scratch on my car very very slight.

Seems like there is very few people that do this. Sydney and Perth seem covered as well as Gold Coast but it seems as if no other state has a place that does it. Either that or Google has no hits, except What Scratch.
I have two scratches and a 5c peice size spot that needs doing but I'd have to give it a go myself, even though I'd rather pay. Because I'm not driving to Sydney to get it done.
I thought Touch Up Guys would do it but apparently they don't.

There is quite a few videos on YouTube about fixing scratches, some good , some not so good .

I've seen vids a while ago, like a year or more now. I don't feel all that confident in my ability to get it good, which is why I'd rather pay a professional. No one in Tasmania does it, and I can't find anyone in Adelaide who does it either, which would be my second choice.
It's really common in the States I've noticed.
I don't even know anywhere that sells the gear to do it yourself. It's not something I could buy from my paint supplies.

Many years ago maybe 25-30 plus, I looked at buying a franchise business. It was a mobile business which involved repairing minor scratches and dings on cars, also vinyl and leather repairs. I remember thinking as they showed before and after repairs, wow that’s amazing!
It was quite an expensive outlay for the business and as a result I didn’t take the risk.
In hindsight.......

No detailers in Tassie or SA?

Newcastle has heaps. I just did a search. Spoilt for choice. You guys are looking at the wrong thing.

It is the world of the detailer.

Newcastle is a big place, are you North, South or West?
