Towed and scratched my paint...

So me and my fiancee were at the hospital and we had just delivered our baby girl the same morning, when i am about to go pick up my car, its not there. My car got towed and i picked it up 45 mins later. when i get back to the hospital i found that it had been keyed on the 1/4 panel and a bit on the rear passenger door. 1 solid line.

is there anything besides getting it painted that i can do? wetsand? polish? wax? its not past the paint, but clearcoat is definitely missing throughout the line where they keyed. its pearl white by the way..

if you want a fix that's cheaper and looks good enough, get some clear-coat touchup and fill in the key marks. Then once that is done, wetsand it to make it smooth and then polish. There is a great DIY on it somewhere here...

Congrats on the baby first off! I cant believe they towed you while you were having a baby?!?
Todays tip: Sign baby up on Acurazine.

Congrats on the Baby!!! I'm sorry to hear about your car though... that's ridiculous how they towed it while you guys were having a baby.... and getting keyed?! That makes the pain worse.. How deep are the key marks?
