I gritted my teeth and went through it. Later I realized there is a scratch from the top of the windshield to the front of the sunroof. Should I just try polishing it out first to see how deep it really is, or what?

Thanks.
There's Bamboo in Virginia?
Sorry , but yea just what Brad said, If you want to go all out for "hand" removing the scratches autopia-carcare.com has a great bundle for this. But like many on here talk about, including me, the PC 7424, like this (what I have), is really the best tool for the amatuer and pro alike, unless you are really good at a rotary, with which you will get results faster, but with huge risks involved. You will also find that if you make the spring for it (or ask for it as a X-mas gift) that you will want to use it, alot! Pretty soon, but with some effort required, you'll want to make your entire car perfect, then you'll win some local shows, then national, and then you'll be the first MINI to ever win the Concourse @ Pebble Beach, and then... You get my point, just remember that you won't get immediate results, it takes time and patients but it is worth it!

Good Luck!

Mikey
