Is this minor scratch or it hits the primer already?

[13luetooth]

Hi everyone,

Can I ignore this scratches or I should just patch it up to prevent it from getting deep and eventually rust the metal?

If its just at the clear coat level, I guess I can ignore it right?

Generally how much does fixing scratches cost?

i must admit i have old flower eyes, but it looks like a good polish (like autoglym super resin) may reduce how visible it is at a glance, but will not totally eliminate the line ..

I think polishing will help.

Looks like still within the paint layer. Take a polishing compound and rub. If the line colour is the same as paint, the scratch did not go to the primer.

Based on personal experience, u should be able to reduce it by 60-70% after diy polishing.

If the scratch is too deep, even professional buffering or polishing by WS cannot remove 100%. Can only repaint.

Suggest u diy first, then do professional polish or respray only when car have more scratches down the road.

Can a resin wax for RED colour if u can find.

Should be able to clear 70 to 80% from current appearance.

the scratch is in one's heart. leave it alone and the scratch will disappear after a while.

I like this. my car is only 7th weeks old la haha. i'm actually ok now.

Initially heart pain for like 2 hours then see through it already.

Now I just hope that I don't ignore this until it becomes a problem to the chassis itself.

I'm noob in this. my frend was telling me that I need to claybar before doing any polishing.

Is it necessary? Or I can just wash it then do the polishing right away?

If you only wanna polish that portion, no need to clay lah. just wash the car and then you start polish.

I will only recommend you hand polish. because you dunno machine how much grit and rpm to polish off. Hand is the safest.

Just go circular with the polish on the sponge. let it cure for a few minutes, then use a microfibre cloth and buff off.

If still have the line, you can try a few more times. then afterwhich, if cannot. then you have to assess you wanna do spot painting or send it to a professional polisher.

A dreaming cyclist riding on pavement knocked onto my stationary car while I was waiting to exit carpark to main road.

Suay la, is just a teenager. Just made sure he's ok and I left.
