Hi Folks

 

Someone scratched against my car while parked at the supermarket.

 

Can you kindly give ideas of how to repair this?

 

Thanks in advance.

    You can pay someone to do it - lots of smart repair companies around. Depends on the car. If it was mine, I'd give it a wash and clean up and see what the damage is. If it's just surface scratches, I might try a T cut and polish. I think the main thing is to make sure they aren't deep scratches that go right through the paint.

    If your car is higher value, I'd go down the pro route.

    Looks more like a paint graze.  Start with wash, polish and elbow grease.

    Some T cut before the polish and wax after the polish.
