13luetooth 1st Gear February 17, 2021 Share February 17, 2021 Hi everyone, Can I ignore this scratches or I should just patch it up to prevent it from getting deep and eventually rust the metal? If its just at the clear coat level, I guess I can ignore it right? Generally how much does fixing scratches cost? ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand i must admit i have old flower eyes, but it looks like a good polish (like autoglym super resin) may reduce how visible it is at a glance, but will not totally eliminate the line ..

Stratovarius Turbocharged February 17, 2021 Share February 17, 2021 Looks like still within the paint layer. Take a polishing compound and rub. If the line colour is the same as paint, the scratch did not go to the primer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceecookie 5th Gear February 17, 2021 Share February 17, 2021 Based on personal experience, u should be able to reduce it by 60-70% after diy polishing. If the scratch is too deep, even professional buffering or polishing by WS cannot remove 100%. Can only repaint. Suggest u diy first, then do professional polish or respray only when car have more scratches down the road. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will only recommend you hand polish. because you dunno machine how much grit and rpm to polish off. Hand is the safest. Just go circular with the polish on the sponge. let it cure for a few minutes, then use a microfibre cloth and buff off. If still have the line, you can try a few more times. then afterwhich, if cannot. then you have to assess you wanna do spot painting or send it to a professional polisher. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
