Hey all,

I got quite a few small and light scratches on my VT.
I was wondering which way do I go, in order to get them removed and looking like a show off car?
This VT will be my pride and joy and I'm not looking for a temporary fix.
Also price range for either a respray or detailing if possible.

p.s
Melbourne south preferred but open for options.

I wouldn't worry about resparying any VT whether it will be your pride and joy or not, unless you have money to throw.

If there only "light" scratches you could possibly remove them with a full detail, which i think is roughly $300? Or buy a few products / pollisher and have a crack yourself.

VE GTS rims are not ust a bolt on (do a search of the forum it's been covered a few times)

As for the paint, maybe take a few photos and upload them here.

yeah the rims have already been drilled + my wheel arches rolled but once I get decent photos I'll upload them.

A decent detail will be more then $300 obviously depends on what final step you go for whether it be wax, sealant or coating! Lots of awesome detailers in melb pm me if you want some names and numbers

these scratches are pretty much what the ones look like on my car. All I want is for the car to look like it just came outta the factory without having to spend $700+ on a respray. Respray is kinda like a last resort for me.
Btw whats the difference with a detailer? Are they just polishing the car? Because I got like chipped paint on my rear bumper.
