Default Scratches

Hey everyone, just wandering whether anyone has any good recommendation on removing scratches (specifically keyed). Affordable pricing.

pics?

what color is the car and what model is it? are the scratches down to the primer...do they catch your fingernail?

these are all crucial questions. rarely can key induced scratches be removed without paintwork. certain cars, such as Volvo, Mercedes...these clear coats are VERY tough to gouge and with the right pad and product, you can remove the marks because they did not totally break the clear coat layer.
