Long story short, parked my car on a college campus overnight and the next morning, car is all scratched up...

They did an excellent job detailing my car...

Anyways, what kind of product could I use to cover them up?
It doesn't seem like the scratches are that deep.

I would do some research but my frustration is just driving my mind insane because I just had the whole right side and trunk painted.... to find it all f****d up...
Also, what product would I use to cover up bird-poop stains?

FML, never parking my car on any campus ground EVER again...

Thanks for your help.

 

Dude,

I'm sorry to hear! Let's start from the beginning...
When you run your nail over the scratches, do they catch? Unfortunately, if they do...then you'll need to repaint. From what I can understand, no sort of product will remove scratches that are that deep.
However, if they don't, depending on your own judgement, you can have the car detailed. If it's that bad, then you'll want a true professional to detail it. It WON'T be cheap - you're looking at probably 13-14 hours (experience). It'll run you close to, if not a few hundred more, than a GRAND. If you do however choose to do it yourself, look up one of our vendors. Buy a porter cable and some products. I'm assuming you're talking pretty deep imperfections - you'll want to use some compound. Compound, again to my understanding, is as abrasive as you'll find. It depends also on the pads you use. Black I hear is great for using with compounds. The smaller the pad, the "heavier" it is, meaning it'll do more work (faster revving because it's smaller). Anyways, you'll need some compound, polish, wax, and a final polish. I recommend optimum, albeit I've never used it, I've heard some great things about it. Let us know what happens man!

Just so the pros on here can direct you in the right direction, you said you parked your car on campus and it got scratched up but also it was detailed. Since you had it painted I am assuming the body shop "detailed" it for you and now you have little swirls all over your car, correct? Or you are saying it was parked on campus and someone "detailed" it as in keyed it, brushed against it, or something?

If they are swirls, pay a pro hundreds and hundreds or spend some time in this forum and read up. Buy some products from a vendor on here along with a porter cable and get at it.

Good luck

Edit - "Scratches" like below (stolen from Oakes G35 thread)



If this is what you are facing, there is good news. These are swirls and can be fixed with time and patience

 

Thank you very much for your input and I will strongly follow through with your advice. I will probably try doing it myself, and if it doesn't work out that well, I wouldn't mind paying money to have my baby back to normal.

 

Oh sorry for the confusion, when I said "detailed" the people just got, most likely keys, and made scratch marks right above the window panel paint and started from one end to the other. They also scratched off most of the paint on the handles (which can not be fixed unless repainted), there's many more scratches, literally all over the car. oh gawd... just describing it is bringing me to tears.*sigh*

However, some scratches does not seem too deep so there might be hope

If worst be at it, time for some saving up for complete paint job.
Anyways, thank you guys once again for your help.

 

Two suggestions-
1. Get an estimate from a pro detailer
2. Get an estimate from a body-shop for a re-paint.

You may be suprised at what can be accomplished by proper paint renovation (one caveat, a surface scratch that will `catch' your fingernail is approximately 0.04 Mil (1.0 µ) deep will usually require wet sanding and the clear coat refinishing

 

So if it was keyed, would your insurance pay for repairs?
