So someone scratched my car while parking I'm guessing and I was just wondering how id be able to fix it

The scratch feels somewhat deep but idk what to do so please give me some options!

 

If you can feel it, it's not coming out and will need to be repainted. That said, a lot of what you are seeing is paint transfer and scuffing of the clearcoat, which can be reduced with compounding

Do you have a DA or rotory buffer or limited to what you can accomplish by hand?

 

get some wax and buff it out

 

I'm limited by hand but my friend has a rotory buffer that he just bought that i could probably borrow

 

There's a bit of a learning curve with a rotary buffer, so i wouldn't dive right in. I think your best bet for now would be M105 on a clean microfiber towel and some elbow grease. That will at least get off any paint transfer and let you see what's left.

As far as touch up paint goes, I'm really not the expert there.

 

Get the buffer, use an orange pad with some decent compound Meguiars M105 is good stuff. Menzerna FG400 is better IMO. Then use a mild polish like Meg's Ultimate Polish to reduce the marring effect from the M105, FG400 leaves behind very little marring but cuts as well as M105. After those two steps you could use a glaze to fill in the scratches some, the follow that up with a sealant or wax. Poor Boys Black Hole is awesome glaze especially for dark colored vehicles and it's not that expensive.

Follow these steps and you can make that imperfection barely noticeable unless you are looking for it or are very close to the car.

 

I have the same exact mark on my rear bumper. The dealer polished/waxed it out... apparently but after a wash it returned as did all the other scratches they "fixed".

I wonder what they used to make the marks temporarily invisible.
Sounds like Upscale's suggestions are a good idea. I'll try it *carefully* with my orbital and see what I get.

 

This guy doesn't know what he's talking about.

You don't remove paint transfer with wax. You need something with cut.

 

A dual action polisher with Meguiar's Ultimate Compound has gotten rid of a lot of paint transfer type blemishes. If you don't have one, you can use a small polisher pad and some strong elbow grease. Although, it seems from the picture, the scratches are a bit deeper and will still be visible.

 

sounds like they used a glaze. Temporarily reduced the appearance. Washes out quickly

 

where can u get this glaze at

 

you can usually find it at any auto parts store. or you can order the better ones on the interwebz.

OP if you are local to west Los Angeles swing it by my place and i can take care of it for you. its easy and will prob take about 10 minutes.

otherwise like others have said do it by hand and use a compound, then polish, then wax.

 

Any name brands u recommend

 

Great suggestion on products, but not pads on bumpers you don’t want to use an orange/yellow pad ever since the paint is way too thin, is better to use a finishing pad or light polish pad it won’t need too much since paint/clear is thinner and softer in the areas, but like others have suggested a glaze won’t do much it will last for maybe one or two washes after that you are back to square one.
