Default Scratch Removal...

So...at some point over the weekend someone keyed my passenger door. It's not too deep of a scratch and I was wondering if anyone had any reviews on any of the relatively cheap scratch removal liquids.

If you dont see primer paint I'd go with Quixx Paint Scratch Remover. You can find it at Wal-mart for around 15 dollars. I picked some up for my car and it works pretty well. Heck even if you can see the primer just get a matching color of touch up paint. Apply that first before using Quixx.

Are you into the Color or just the Clear?

I'm not entirely sure. The scratch is black in some parts and white in others.

Prime is white so that's prolly the prime you're seeing. What color is your car? I think it'd help if you post some pics.

But wow dude, what a hater. What kinda sadistic moron would do that? To a Camaro especially.

My 97 convertible was keyed on the left rear fender and the door. I've picked up some paint pens (primer, body color, and clear coat) to see if I can clean that up, but I need to wait for warmer weather in Dallas.

Be very careful with that stuff, I had a scratched up rear bumper on my last car (Impala) and tried to fix it up, and it turned into a mess.

I can imagine. I've seen several different takes on small touch ups on the Internet, and it doesn't look easy to do it right. I'm going to try first on a bad chipped area on the right rear fender (truck door opened into it) and see how it goes before I move to the long scratches on the left. If the chipped area turns out poorly I'll reassess.
