Hi,

My car just got keyed today. The scratch runs deep, any cheap solution to cover it up? My car's red in color.

Cheers

Depending on how deep the scratch is.. If it is a light scratch, use GS27 scratch remover. It comes in a tube. A towel and elbow grease should get the scratch out.
If it is deep, use a rubbing compound, turtle wax makes it. Use an electric buffer. What the rubbing compound does is it strips off a few 'layers' of clear coat so the scratch looked miminal. Be careful with the rubbing compound, it can take alot of clear coat and paint off your car if you are not careful. Good luck let us know how it turned out.

Hope it helps!

 

My brother car got keyed and I used Maguires paint cleaner then Maguires polish. I didn't think I had a chance of getting it out but it worked like a charm. If you arent looking for it, you cant see it. Make sure you put a couple of coats of wax on after you use the paint cleaner and polish. Good luck.
