Really not happy !!
« on: 05 February 2010, 08:45 »
Hi

Finished work last night to find that some little s**t had keyed my car :sick:.  it doesnt feel that deep when i run my finger over it, but it is a silver scratch so obviously deep enough! The scratch goes along the rear door and the rear quarter panel across the fuel flap/cap. Looks like a long blonde hair is stuck to it, to give you an idea of the width.
  My car is mystic blue pearl, whats the best way to deal with this? Can anybody recommend any good bodyshops etc in the Bristol or surrounding area?

Thanks in advance

Could delve into the realm of wet sanding? Pretty sure that WS is good for key marks etc.
