Will these scratches buff out

[illstudytomorrow]

Somebody decided to key my car.... Will these scratches buff out?

[aziz.rehan]

Maybe kalam will be used

[illstudytomorrow]

So you don't think buffer machine and wax will be enough?

Will these scratches buff out?

No they will not

You can use touch up paint or get it repainted

Run your nail on top of it. If you can feel the scratch under your nail it can't be buffed out. If your nail doesn't catch it then it would buff out. To me it looks 80-90% buffable. A small scratch might remain behind.

[illstudytomorrow]

I did that and it catches but very slightly so ...like I can feel slight resistance on the area of the scratch as compared to the rest of the panel but there isn't a groove/bump that I can feel... Don't know if that makes sense

[margallar]

then it means that most probably the scratch can be reduced significantly

[illstudytomorrow]

I really hope that's the case...also should I get it buffed immediately or does it matter if I wait a bit

[margallar]

you can do it whenever it suits you

Pata nahi logon ko kya milta ha yeh haramzadgi sa. I am also facing similar dilemma. My alto has been scratched from a few places outside my office parking. Thr quality of paint is also pathetic in new suzuki cars. I can feel from my nail so it wont be removed from buff and i dont want to repaint it.
Do let us know whatever solution you come up with.

Use some brake oil with cotton scrap or a car cleaner cloth. If it can go by buffing it can go by brake oil too.

[margallar]

that is very dangerous

1.Wash the area with a car shampoo.
2. Get hold of a 2000 grit sand paper, you can soak it in water for a few mins to soften it.
3. Wet the area with plenty of water.
4. Keeping the sanding paper very straight, gently go over the scratched surface. Make sure your sandpaper is straight. Keep spraying more water as you go. Maintain gentle, equal pressure on a large surface area. Don't dig it in, or apply uneven pressure.
5. When the surface feels smooth to touch, buff it with a 1000-1500 grit compound polish and polishing machine.
6. Finish with a polish.

You will need at least a Dual action polisher or rotary ideally. Hand polishing won't fix 2000 grit sand paper marks. It would take ages. If you can't arrange a polisher then you are better off getting it fixed by a good painter. They can also apply qalam on the bits that don't buff off. Its a 10 mins job for someone who knows what they are doing and have access to tools. You may also take it to a car detailing shop, they can fix it too.
