Scratches

i have various minor scratches in numerous spots on the car.. is there anyway i can fix these without getting the whole car repainted? they arent very noticeable and arent very deep but wont buff out.... my car is black. Thanks.

Never tried this but i'd try some touch up paint with same color code as car. Then buff it out after it sits for a while...? Hard to say if it will work without seeing pictures.

I bought some Zaino diminishing polish which has particles that get finer as you work it. I was able to get some of the minor scratches in my paint out with that then I re-Zainoed the paint. The Z5 is the best for black with swirls or minor scratches.

www.zainobros.com...... I use their whole line and have had great results. It all dpends how deep your scratches are......nothing beats fresh paint.

I took mine to a body shop and for $200 they wet sanded and buffed the paint. It looked like a new car when I got it back!
