Default My car got scratched!!

My little brother scratched the numbers 0-16 on the side of my stang. He used a coat hanger, but the scrathes didn't go though the paint. What will fix it? While on the subject, what will remove swirls?

Sadly, sometimes we have to kill those we love.

Fast and painless man, he is your brother.

After you clean the paint, use a little 3m rubbing compound being very gentle to not go through to the paint. Do it in the shade. Then polish and wax. I had a big rock bounce off my front right bumper and scratch the heck out of it. A little rubbing compound worked it out and you cant even tell...except for the 2 dimples in the sheet metal But that's what the ding king is for
