SCRATCH REPAIR PLEASE HELP

[FabianE90]

Good Day
I have a few scratches on my door, my nail gets stuck in them so it pretty deep:blueCry: [/b]. Any advise on what i can do to remove them would be greatly appreciated.

I would also like to know about this. I got too many scratches and don't think buffing will remove them and got some chips here. I am actually thinking of getting the whole car resprayed as it gets to me.

I only have like 4 scratches(4 scratches to many). So to spend 20K+ on a respray to repair those is a bit much.

Hi
Just after got my sapphire black E90 my dogs decided that they needed to put their mark on the bonnet ,any how they scratched the bonnet lekker deep , totally pissed I went to the local china town in Ottery cape town there's a car shop ,you know ,the kind that sells alot of *&#@
i had one of two choices take a black permanent marker or take one of these touch up pens that they sell
so i bought one that looked more or less like the black on my car bearing in mind that sapphire black has a sparkle sort of like with speckles in it .
went home & proceeded to fill the scratches with this pen (oh R20 )
OK satisfied that the scratches wasn't too obvious i spoke to a friend of mine & arrange that he would touch up the car as there were other dents & things that he needed to see to As I had bought the car out of hand .
I showed him what i have done & what i used
here's the funny part :=):
When he gave my car back looking like new again he asked pertaining to this pen that i had bought
He said that when he flatted the bonnet to prepare it for spray
he noticed that the pen had actually filled the scratches so much so that the marks was gone:coolShake:
He reckons that ,like in your cases , if you can get the pen that matches your paint work ,fill the scratch using the pen ( it actually has a brush at one end & a pen on the other) let it dry & take 1000 0r 2000 grid water sand paper & gentle sand the filled line NOT THE WHOLE PANEL
Once smooth & the line is not noticeable polish the area up

I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU TRY A SMALL SCRATCH FIRST & SEE IF IT WORKS FOR YOU

Or you could send your car to a Detailer who could polish as much out as possible at a fraction of the price.

Tried that the scratchers are to deep to buff out.

What kind of prices can one expect to pay for a detailing service?

 

[Fuzz@tinyNET]

Depending on who and the service being provided between 2k - 4.5k

If the scratches are not through the base coat then you can touch it up with clear coat and sand it down in a 3 step sand paper( i think its 800 1500 and last 3000) and then some compound( scratch x, Speed glaze.) but you have to have the trick to do it and practice

I Use the Turtle scratch repair kit that you can get from middas.
