Car Question about Scratches?

Question

I just bought a new 07 Nissan Sentra Saturday, and I already have minor scratches. I accidently ran the front of my car up a curb while parking. Heres pictures: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Fadez2Black/IMG_5860.jpg & http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Fadez2Black/IMG_5859.jpg

My question is, is there anything I can do to make the scatches less noticeable or virtually gone?

Answer 1

Those scratches are deep enough that you will need to have them repaired and refinished to make them virtually gone. You could try polishing with a good cleaner wax product to see if you can make them look better. The scratches are located low enough on the vehicle (under the front license plate) that they are not going to be very noticeable to many people anyway!.

Answer 2

An average body shop, and sometimes a detail shop, can color sand the scratches out. Since new cars have deep clear coats over a base coat color, buffing will sometimes cause more damage and cost more to fix than color sanding.

Answer 3

learn how to drive better.....for that your going to have to take the front bumper off and iether replace it or take it to a body shop and have them get the grooves that you cut into it filled and resprayed.....but the filling probably will not last long. get a replacement from a junkyard and have it resprayed the color of your car

Answer 4

have you buffed them out with an elecric circular buffer? that will take a lot of the marks out. touch-up paint will take care of the deep scratches.

Answer 5

i got a scratch on my new Vibe,and couldn't get it out with the stuff that is supposed to. may be you can though.

Answer 6

those look pretty bad, I think you are going to need a repaint on that, they look pretty deep in a lot of places. good luck.

Answer 7

you can buff and wax to get scratches out
