I have a few scratches on the car from the original owner. Most are just very light which I am sure could just be polished out. There are a couple more very small ones which have gone through the paint. Being a black car even though they are small they really show up.
I have tried using the pencil kit from LR on one of the scratches but it looks worse than it did before. Can anyone recommend a professional in the Essex Brentwood area who would be able to do something with these scratches.

If a scratch is through the paint then professional respraying of that panel is really the only option. This can be a lot cheaper than you think. My local body-shop charges £150 a panel and it looks like new with perfect match and lacquered.

....who trades as Top Gun who does paint repairs on site.....
from experience & seeing what he has done (before & after) I always ask before I commit to the body shop
I found out early on a lot of dealerships here use him for this sort of damage as well...they dont have to de trim or disconnect air bag systems etc.
I am not saying they are all good.....but Gavin Shorters aka Top Gun is exceptional BREXIT - done properly.
