10 Days!!!!

That's how long I made it with my brand new car before someone put a scratch in her [:@] [:@] [:@] [:@]

Anyway, I'm looking for advice on how to get this out. Do any of those scratch remover products work well? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thank you!

Here are a couple of pics.

Here's what I did. I got a paint pen from paintscratch.com in both clear coat and the color of my car. Basically followed directions, but put some of the color on the nick, and used a credit card type device to smooth down the paint. Did a couple coats of this to get the shade right. Let that dry, then did the same thing with the clear. Used rubbing compond to shine up the clear and it was good to go. Wax after 30 days.

 

I recommend you drive into one or more detailing shops. If it didn't go to the base color they can simply buff it out (safer and better than you can). If it's pretty deep in the clear and still not to the base color it needs to be lightly wet sanded with 3000# first; then rotary buffed.

Bring it to a pro(s) for opinion and price; if not scratched to the base color it's a quick, inexpensive fix.

 

The dealership you got it from. New car dealerships deal with this all the time. Kids coming on their lot at night and keying 50 or so cars.

 

You know what? ZZMustang is telling you right. The guy that is going to put some exterior mods on my stang for me was working on an '07 California Special the day I was at his shop. He told me he does routine minor dent and scratch repair for the dealership. That particular shop had a *major* scratch and dent in the rear bumper, and it was brand new on the lot. Someone had come on the lot and scratched it.

Head back to the dealer--they will lead you in the right direction. Good luck and kick the *** of the dog that did it to your car if you find out......... Shella ~
