Key marks, what to do?

If you can feel the scratch with your fingernail, it's too deep a scratch and you will need re-spray to effectively repair it to a like new condition. Polishing either

If you can feel the scratch with your fingernail, it's too deep a scratch and you will need re-spray to effectively repair it to a like new condition. Polishing either won't be enough or you could possibly make it worst if you don't know what you're doing. If its only the clear coat, a good professional shop might be able to wet sand and level it out. Do not wetsand if you don't know what you're doing! I would give Dr Colorchip a shot, it's easy to apply and practically fool proof. Even if you mess up, it can be removed without damaging the paint. It's not 100% perfect though. Scratch X works pretty well, but it has some fillers that eventually wear off. I would give 3M scratch remover a shot. It has worked really well for me, especially removing etching caused by bird crap and I dont feel like bringing out the polisher. Just be sure to reapply wax afterwards.
