Some ****less $hithead keyed my Infin lastnight and I was wondering if anyone here had any tips for repairing this.

The scratches are not too deep except in one spot. Unfortunately the scratches arent fine enough to use a scratch remover or rubbing compound.

Im jsut wondering if these can be repaired successfully by me, or if I will just do more harm than good, and should take it to a professional.

TIA

 

I fully suggest that you bring it to a professional. I have had customers bring me their car after trying to fix a problem themselves and they only made it worse. If you know how to buff, then you need not go to a detailer (or bodyshop), but if not a detailer can buff it out as best as possible and most won't be TOO expensive.

 

:Update:

Well, It looks like someone also just ran into my parked car!!! Right behind the rear passenger door is a little dented and scratched up. WTF is going on? This has not been a good week for my car.

At lease one side of my car still looks good :knock on wood:

 

That sux NewLoveI30. Stuff like that has happened to me before, in terms of people bumping into my car and fleeing. I feel for you. Hearing sh&t like that pisses me off...

 

I ordered some touch up paint from http://www.paintscratch.com/ and used Lanka http://www.langka.com/ and worked very well on scratches and chips

 

Thanks for the tip. I have thought of doing that same thing but was a bit worried about the end result.

So can you see at all where the touch-up was done? Have any good pics?

Thanks again

 

If you are looking for chips then yea. If you are not, you won't be able to tell.
