Key marks, what to do?
My car was keyed 3 times while I had it parked in the parking garage; along the top of my spoiler, along my passenger side rear fender, and vertically on my passenger door.
My car was ran into by a drunk idiot who must have had a belt buckle on or something and it made two deep and wide scratches on my drivers door. I want to get them out cost effectively but good quality work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1325370078.101812.jpg

Take in account the cost of you deductible "assuming you have full coverage" vs the cost of getting the repairs done professionally. Being this was a hit and run and out of your control your rates will not be affected from making a claim.
For future reference its always best to get a police report for any damage large or small. this would help with future claims |

Don't know if this will work but meguires scratch x ( think that's what it's called) worked wonders on my car. Might want to see if that can remove the scratches first.

I would try this first before filing a claim.

Drag your nail perpendicular over the scratch and if your nail catches it, the scratch is too deep for ScratchX or any polish. You might be able to make it less noticeable though. GL.

K thanks for the advice guys. And I did file a police report and they did nothing about it, no follow up or anything.

Dayum dude! Sorry to see that someone defiled your ride. Any idea who did it? Keying is usually a very personal thing.

Meguiar's #83 with a DA polisher would probably make the scratch on your spoiler less noticable.

The only person that I thought that maybe did it was this girl that I had a thing with for a while; then three days before my car got keyed she said she was going to key my car. She said it was just a coincidence but I am not believing it.
