Need help on Stain/Scratches

I have a courtesy car and I've just found a long hairline scratch which is probably from brushing past bushes. They are really small and thin but it's quite long.
Second problem.. My mum had a container of food which had dripped onto the seat, it's clearly visible and I think I will have to pay my excess of £500 because of it!

Any tips on getting the stain out and what is best to use on the scratches?
Thanks in advance

I've got loads of them on mine, I tend to drive to close to the verge when letting cars past on narrow tracks. Try washing then using Autoglym Super Resin Polish followed by sealing with some wax to avoid the fillers washing out...I'm no expert but I've heard on here that it is one of the best polishes out there for getting rid of scratches like these..it certainly worked on mine, and it's black.

Cheers for that, I've got a bottle of the super resin polish somewhere.. will give it a go. Still concerned with the stain though, I have a few products that might work so I will have to hope for the best.

Sorry - missed the bit about the stains. The only stuff I've used on the interior is the AG Interior Shampoo I think it's called..in the green spray bottle. It worked great for me on the seats and headlining.

Pay someone for an interior valet, shop around and you'll find a reasonable price. You'll probably find someone who will shampoo your for interior for £15.

Wow that's a bargain. I thought interior valets were above £50.. I'll google around for some quotes.
Cheers for that

Not really, the average rate to the motor trader is only about that and anyone who is quiet/ an immigrant will match that. Some people charge a lot extra for silly litte additions like special leather treatments and fabric guards for your carpets.

I'm going to have to keep the bimmer for a month so looks like I'll get it all done at the end. 1 month is way too long
