:!:! CS time machine in action again! This happened way over a year ago now!
Got it sorted, an excellent bodyshop sprayed the whole side of the car to blend it in, got rid of a few other small marks too. Can't even tell it was ever done!
Cheers for the advice tho people! :thumbs:

exact same thing happend to me, and mine is not even modified, if i ever find out who it is ima kick the living shit out of them

moght need a panel respray whihc means ther colour match wont be perfect :(:(

thats shite that Dav m8....

I might try that crayon thing on my car...got a few scratches i would like to get out........

o dear if its showing up white then its defo down to primer :(

Totally pointless reason for it to happen aswell why do people do it for?

I dare say in the light its gonna look even worse, and its almost certainly gonna need a spray over the effected areas.

It sickens me to hear storys like this. I suppose ur only consolidation can come from knowin that the w@nker that did it has so little to be proud of in his life that he's left to take it out on some1 else. Bet he'd luv to have the initiative to mod a car into something to be proud of. Complete cunt. Hope u get her sorted mate.:thumbs:

a good body shop can carry out a "blow in" if donr right its a great job but make sure u go to a good bodyshop...

I'm gonna try all the other methods first tho, see how that goes.

Beatsri, yeah I can feel it with my nail :(
Was hoping it wouldn't need resprayed coz metalic doesn't finish well does it?

Thanks people.

If you can feel the scratch with your nail then it will need to be re-painted, however if you cannot then the scratch will polish out. As said before use the Mer kit, it comes with everything you need and video detailing exactly what to do. Costs about £20(Halfords).:o

Theres a good Mer scratch remover kit with video available from QVC (www.qvcuk.com) They demonstrated it and it looks pretty good.

try using g10 rubbing compound.
if its white then chances are its gone down to the primer

yeah it worked on my deep scratches but on the shallow 1's i had to use that colour t-cut a couple of times to hide it.

try usin metalic t cut m8 :(

As the title says some dickhead keyed my car tonite. The car was in my own driveway at the time.
I live in a really quiet street so it really annoys me off that someone would come into my drive and scratch my car for no reason! :(

Scratch is a sharp line about 8 - 10 inches long under my drivers side rear window. Dunno how deep coz I've never had a scratch on my car before to compair it to. But it stands out white as soon as u look at the car :(
I've only seen it in the dark so I'll have a proper look tomorrow in the daylight.

My car is Arden blue (metalic) so whats the best way to repair it?
Polish? T-cut? Re-spray!!?

Any help would be really great.
Thanks.
