Guys, after some advice please. After parking my car on the road I came out this morning and found a 20" scrach on the rear wing...Nice!! Although it's showing white primer i dont think it looks to deep.

Can someone recommend the best way for a complete amateur to try removing this?

Cheers
 
No expert, but if you're down to the primer then it'll more than likely need painting :idunno:

Sorry :thumbsdown:
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but the clear top coat can also look white if it's been scraped? U mitt be lucky if u say it not too deep.
If that's the case then a wet sand and polish should get rid of it
 
if you can feel it with your nail quite clearly you need a professional, anything else is surface lacquer, gently try some brasso on a cloth... gently!!

This could be the case.

T-Cut – or Metallic T-Cut which is milder – could be used on the scratch with a good microfibre cloth, though I have Meguiars Scratch X which is good. Have a good go with that over say 2-3 inches for 10-20 mins and then see if that makes it any better. Most polishes fill in minor scratches, so after washing it down after the T-Cut/Scratch X, get polishing and see how it looks. Good luck :thumbsup:
 
Paint shop trick when assessing damage, very little abrasive or theres T cut, if your worried just phone a few paint places and ask advice, a good one should be sound abount this
 
Ive had a situation where it looked like a scratch down to the primer, but on second glance its actually the paint of the other car that did it. Buffed off no issues.
Give it a little T-cut then if no better go to the paint shop. Be careful as its easy to make these things look alot worse.
