    Ah I see, so it in essence is t cut 2.0 type thing then.

    So, use this and hope for the best!

    After a normal wash and dry, I guess you can leave it, wax it or polish it? Using the products you've mentioned above

    My wife successfully touched in similar damage on one of our old cars that was a dark metallic blue. Hit whilst parked. 

    We used the multi part paint repair kit from Halford that included high build primer, colour and clear coat.

    The trick is to use spend lots of time building up the primer to get it level and smooth. Then use a good quality fine artist paint brush to apply the top and clear coat.

    When done I knew it was there but unless you got really close to the panel it was not visible. A lot less hassle than insurance and having to declare an accident for 5 years when my wife was a new driver. 
    Cheers, that gives me some decent ideas and hope!
