just noticed before that some scrote has keyed my astravan. it's not very deep actually so i reckon i can polish it out. it goes the full length of the passenger side though so it's still pretty bad.
anyone got any tips on scratch removal? the paint on it is looking a bit dull anyway so i might just pay someone to do it as i reckon it'll be expensive to buy the bits i need to sort it myself.

You may get away with a touch up stick, then flatting it back and machine polishing it, but not something I'd suggest trying without any previous experience.

May be best speaking to a smart repair company as they should be able to sort it whether it needs paint or not then.

Id have keyed their face then dropped every single possession they had on them down the nearest drain.

Someone has done this to my car but it's gone right through so cannot get it out.
Wasn't too bothered really as someone scrapped that wing anyway and i hit the gate with it too
