So i just got done with a carwash (1st time I ever took this car to a carwash, I ALWAYS hand wash it), and i'm drying my car off before i leave, and theres a F-en scratch on the panel behind the right side window. really pisses me off...

How can i fix this? any special products out there?

touch up paint, maybe buff it out, it looks pretty bad, that sucks man

I don't think any amount of buffing is going to help with that.

Touch up paint is probably your best option other than having it done professionally.

That sucks man.... I would complain to the owner of the carwash but you most likely will just have to touch it up unless you have the extra bones to have it done by a body shop.

wetsand + buff :P (body shop). Though some of meguier's stuff that takes out scratches MIGHT work... not sure

those scratches look pretty deep... :/ im sorry to say but buffing it out wont help

wetsand it if you're brave. it looks pretty deep man. I would try putting some touch up paint on it, and use a really small brush or toothpick and dab the paint on it. After the touchup paint dries, you should put another layer of touch up on it. After 2 coats or so, trying buffing it out with a porter cable or something.

After reading this thread I will now never go to the car wash, that sucks man. Try some scratch remover, but your best bet is to get it professionally done.
