Fix Paint Scratches

[Orpheus]

I got heaps of scratches on my car.

my friends said that if you can put your nail in them then they can't be buffed out.

well you can put your nail in most of them.

What is the recommended thing to do?

will touch up paint just look tacky and not fill it right?

anything else I could do apart from getting a $7k paint job???

Are they all over your car? Or mainly bumpers etc?

[Orpheus]

There's like heaps on the top of the boot, and some on both of the sides. My car is black and you can't really see them unless your pretty close

[enigma75]

Try the touch up pen if they're bad enough, what have you got to lose?

[Orpheus]

I've read there are places like paint mobile and others, that come out and match the paint to your car and touch it up.

anyone had any experience with this?

eww no, dont use the touch up pens :/
there are guys that detailers and car yards use that will come out and fix this stuff cheap, if its scratches that are not down to the primer/metal, you can use a heavy cut or swirl remover but use a proper buffer (they look like HUGE angle grinders but are speed variable) get them cheap at super cheap
