Ok some brainless troll decided to scratch the rear door and panel in several places on my xc at the weekend. Its not down to the metal so whats the suggestions on how best to make this look a little better??

Can you feel the scratches with the tip of your fingernail when moving your finger across them?

Can I see a photo?

You can feel it with a fingernail but its not so much depth as a change of texture if that helps

It looks like Wobbles, could blend it away a bit, but looks deep in parts :(

my mobile has not changed for ages. I will check my own. Looking at the damage it may be too deep to polish out in all areas & would require some wet sanding/ repaint. I could at a pinch attempt to patch it up with touch in paint.

Well the nice man from down the road came round with his kit last night and all the paint work is now as good as new

Sorry I would have but Viking is a long way away & my C70 is off the road.

Just out of curiousity - did the "man" use any paint?

Wobbles didnt do it as theres a bit of a distance issue as I dont get over that way very often these days.
