Scratches on WDP Acura TL's Trunk

Hi! I recently discovered a few scratches on my trunk, some more noticeable than others. They don't look that deep and at first I wasn't sure if they were actually scratches or something raised on TOP of the paint. (I think they were there when I bought the car but I was too excited to notice). I've done the fingernail test and think they're scratches (input on this too please). I've fixed several other minor scratches with a cheap scratch repair kit but it won't work on these scratches. What's the best way to go about getting rid of these?





One of the smaller scratches.





Two major scratches.





Close up of the biggest scratch.

If they don't go too deep into the paint you can have those buffed out. You'd be amazed at the magic a detailer can do to your car.

I have a NBP with similar issues... You can try to find a GOOD body shop to paint just the rear trunk or you can try to go to Macco to paint the whole thing.. I have a few arround the car that bother me so ill likely do the Macco route

Don't do maaco. They are one of the worst shops to take your car to, at least around here.

All depends on your location they are individually owned. Plenty of happy people. There are acurazine members who have posted about being happy with the results
