Cleaning Bodywork Cloudiness

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra H - Years 2004-2010
Part: Body

Small scratches or cloudiness on the bodywork due to paint ageing are relatively easy to repair. Using a grinder equipped with a cotton bonnet, begin to gently polish the damaged area to make the surface smooth and clean from oils and grease, also using a solvent. It is advisable to dampen the bonnet with a suitable product commonly referred to as Polish, which can remove scratches and smudges. Once the Polish has dried, carefully wipe with a clean cloth to achieve a smooth and even surface.
