Ooh thats a nasty scratch!!

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE PROFFESIONALS IN AUTOMOTIVE REFINISHING AND CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES CAUSED TO VEHICLES FROM READING THIS.

Some scratches really do seem worse than they are and most people panic as to how much they are going to cost to get done.
The truth is that most practically minded people can sort some scratches out alot easier than what you would think.
So lets take the corner bumper scuff caused by some dosey twonk who misjudged the size of parking space and  brushed against your car.  The kind of accident where they leave the paint from their car on yours.
Firstly you need to clean the bumper of any dirt.
Now get out some rubbing compound and rub the scuffed mark until the marks come out.
Any heavier scuffs which have left slight scratches to the lacquer can be sanded out using some p2000 and then compounding as listed above.

Some key marks, providing they havent gone through to the basecoat can also be made less noticeable by similar methods.
