    how deep are the scratches? if it’s only gone through the clear coat and you can see the colour under it you might be able to polish it (you cant add paint layers back but you can knock down the edges so it’s less noticeable)

    if it’s gone past the colour layer then no amount of polish will help and you’ll need to paint it.

    I’d personally not settle for those little paint pens they look shit on anything other than stone chips and get it done right.


  • I’d need to know the cut off for the model years included, context for what the problems could range from and exactly how many are major (engine failure) to minor (busted cup holder) and are these reported by customers, dealers and the manufacturer.

    A typical Land Rover customer will want perfection so for all we know as we’re not shown the brake down of the data 230 of those complaints are to do with trim fit and finish while say for the Kia 130 of those could be total drive train failure.

    Basically without proper context this is about as useful as going off “vibes” etc.

    Also maybe a side note given the shit show around Kia and Hyundai’s US model cars lacking proper security and all the shit they’re in for it I don’t think just 152 is right. Unless those effected cars have aged out of the sample group window.
