Yo, my car has a few minor scratches here and there and I've been thinking about trying to touch them up recently, but yesterday someone either scraped the front of my car with a trolley or a pram and now it looks like shit at the front. The scratches aren't overly bad, just wondering whats the best way to get rid of them when I can't nearly afford a respray?
Thanks.

First of all you could try scratch x, rub that into the scratch then polish n wax, if that dosen't work it is gonna need a respray or for a temporary solution you could just use some touch up paint purchased at honda, touch up paint will not look that good but it improves the look from a distance;)

Its not that bad so hopefully that scratch x would work. Is it at Super cheap auto?

take it to a professional detailer and get a quote.
sometimes a hand detail just isn't enough, the quote might also outline what needs to be done and you can decide if you can do that yourself :p
