You love your grandson, but he just drove his Bob the Builder dump truck along the side of your car, leaving a path of scratches in the paint. Before you write the little angel out of your will, try the top scratch remover recommended by Consumer Reports magazine.
Researchers at the magazine tested seven do-it-yourself products and found only one lived up to its name of “scratch remover.” All seven tested removed very light scratches and imperfections but only Quixx Scratch Remover did a good job of smoothing out a scratch that’s deep enough to feel with your fingertip - the kind left in the wake of a Bob the Builder dump truck.
But even the best of scratch removers only work if the mark hasn’t gone through the paint’s clear coat layer. Scratches that expose the primer or metal or plastic underneath probably will need to be repainted.

FOR the second time in less than a week, garbage trucks were on Thursday forced to wait in a long line at the Riverton City Waste Disposal facility in Kingston before they were able to dispose of waste collected mainly from the Corporate Area.
This time, as was the case earlier this week, the problem was associated with faulty equipment on the landfill.
The Observer was on the scene investigating rumours of a fire at the dump when a worker reported to landfill supervisor Cleveland Francis, that one of the tracks of the single working tractor on the site had broken and needed to be welded back on.
“Di track break off so mi a go weld it on back now. Mi tell dem sey fi send dem up two by two,” he said, addressing Francis.
“It will be down for at least an hour,” Francis later told the Observer.

Two men were pronounced dead at the scene of a horrific two-vehicle accident early Tuesday after an SUV crashed into a garbage truck, killing the driver of the SUV and an employee who was emptying refuse into the truck.
Sgt. Ron Curtis of the Caribou Police Department said Tuesday the accident on the slush-covered roadway happened just north of the VFW Hall on the Van Buren Road.
According to Curtis, Daniel Andretta, 30, of Caribou was driving a 2001 Dodge Durango on the roadway when he came upon the 2007 International garbage truck being driven by owner Jack Herbert.
