In America they call it spot putty (for filling deep scratches in car bodywork) - what's it called in UK?
Spot putty = ?
And where could I get some please ?
I've got a run of scratches in my car's paintwork, some quite deep, and I want to repair them. They aren't just scratches in paint... won't polish out, and highly visible in my car's black paintwork.
I've been following this tutorial below. It has a flash video "how-to" and it seems good enough for a reasonable result. (although I've got extra products too like etch primer and panel wipe and tak rags)

It's just I don't know where to get spot putty from - or if it's called something else in the UK, or if we even have an equivilent product?
Thanks if you can help. 
Hi it's called 'body filler'... try this link

or I suggest ebay may be a cheaper alternative source to get it from

Other than that I suggest using a local car spares and repairs shop near to where you are.... yell.com should locate one for you
http://www.yell.com/ucs/UcsSearchAction.do?scrambleSeed=97612373&keywords=&companyName=halfords&location=UNITED+KINGDOM&search=SEARCH&searchType=advance
Halfords are a well known UK shop throughout the country.
Or search using "Car Accessories & Parts" in the product/service search box should give you other options.
Hope this helps.
