When we went to collect the parked car to drive up to the Mountain Run, we discovered two long black wing mirror scratches extending along the side of the whole back door and back panel.

It didn't really set the mood for an enjoyable afternoon for me as I had been the one doing most of the driving and felt really bad incase I had caused them. And what didn't help was that the car was parked with that side on the pavement.

On the way back Nigel and myself stopped off at a petrol station and bought the spainish equivalent of T-cut and a bag of polishing clothes.

Sunday morning we spent 15 minutes in the sunshine removing the black marks which after a lot of group elbow grease had all disapeared with the exception of a few non-obvious scratches in the paintwork.

15 minutes of group t-cutting and 8 euros of equipment saved us alot of money on the car insurance excess. Phew

And even better I've had no phone calls from the car hire company asking why the car now has scratches down one side
