I booked a parcel collection through Interparcel at 11:35am, UPS arrived just 25 minutes later to collect it, and it had been delivered by 11:20 the next day (and that was using a non-express service). I was quite pleased
I dunno how tiny the scratches are, but if they are fairly fine, you should try something like this:
I know it says black trim wax, but if you slop it all over your paintwork and polish off well, it works a treat. The wax is black, but your car doesn't need to be black.. it will work fine on any vaguely dark coloured car, as long as the scratches are very fine. Obviously, if you try to put it on a huge deep scratch, you'll just end up changing the colour of your scratch from silver to black.
It's not a permanent fix as such, but Ii just hides all the very fine scratches that make your paintwork look a bit tired. I put it on an 84,000 mile dark blue Land Rover which had fairly average paintwork (it was all original paint, but not too good in terms of scratches), and the wax made it look like a whole new car.

- If you did like the old logo deko, you need not have reminded me to make a logo every day for 1001 days :doh:
- The font used for the '2010' bit of the logo is an imitation of DIN 1451. Imitation because the real DIN 1451 is a commercial font and I have no intention of manufacturing german road signs, so I do not need to buy it.
- The font used for the 'Grand Touring Amateur League' is a totally unrelated font that does not feature on any road signs of any country.
I assume you are happy to take over photomode and continue running it now?
Because I just realised I had forgotten the voting, and thought OH SHIT, and then realised that you had already done it - I can't remember if we confirmed you were going to run it or not..
Anyway, if you are going to run it, thanks - now I don't need to remember stuff any more
