Hairline scratch

JGreenwood07 · 01-08-2011, 12:33 PM

Washed my car this morning only to find a hairline scratch from the "Z" turn signal on the front quarter panel across to the door. It is roughly 6 inches long. I can feel it slightly with my finger nail when I run it over the scratch.

Is there anyway to remove this or am I out of luck? I have a feeling that if I can feel it it has gone through the clear coat and nothing can be done.

I took pics, but the scratch doesn't show up in them.

Thanks for any help.

Try pics with a flash.

Either way some good machine polishing or a little wet-sanding should at least make it almost invisible. But if you have to ask, it's not a diy job, take it to a pro-detailer

Ok, yeah I was def not even thinking about doing it myself. I will run it by and see what they say. Thanks.
