Scratches
I discovered a deep scratch when I came out of my church (yes, whoever did it will go to hell). i can tell that it was done by a key. do any of you have any suggestions on how to make this less visible? i know making it disappear is impossible unless i get a new door panel. i just want to make it look less visible because the scratch appears white and my car is black so it definitely stands out.

Re: Scratches (Shinbo)
i would take it somewhere, and let them buff it. but it will never go away like that. it might make it look a little better. but never put that touch up paint that you can get at walmart or autozone on it. especially on a black car, i have one too, that would be worse than the scratch. it might be pretty cheap to repaint that one part too. AND YES. that person will probly go to hell for that. hahaha

Stuff happens...
if you dont plan to repaint the car, get some touch up paint.
i would recommend you to get it at autozone, they have a new touch up pen that have a tradition paint brush tip and a new roller paint tip(work like your regular pen point roller pen)
just match up the color and you are set.
when you apply the paint, be sure that the surface is clean of dirt, oil or loose paint chips.

Re: Scratches (Shinbo)
Get some touch up paint, some good carnouba wax, and some elbow grease. Once the paint is dry, give that puppy a few good coats of wax and it should look pretty good. Also give some rubbing (buffing) compound a try to kind of "blend" the scratch in after the touch up just in case there are some descrepencies in the color of the touch up and original paint. Good luck
