Default Scratches

Best way to cure scratches with out a respray? Came out to my car this morning to fund scratches down one side of the car. They don't look to deep. Any advice would be great.

If you can get ur nail in them then the wont flat out. That's the usual rule of thumb. Take it to a local body shop and ask them to take a look the might flat and polish maybe not totally gone but better than they are now

Those pens are crap unless you know what your doing, are the scratches base coat deep? If its clearcoat then you can apply clear coat manually, then sand back with a p2000 and mop back to a shine, base coat can be touched in depending on colour. I would see a local company and get a free quote and chat to the painters, most won't do a job unless you need it done, if you took it to where I worked we would advise you the best way. Try getting the marks wet, can you still see them?
