Best scratch remover?

[Cnock]

I just bought a 91 black AWD and its paint is pretty nice except for the drivers door has a long key mark. i was wondering about any products people have tried and worked well to minimize scratchs. thx

I also need to know this because I had some type of tar or something on my car door and had to take a dish scrubber to the door to get it off and now I have a big circluar scratch pattern.

Depending on how deep it is, you have a few options. I had a few shallow scratches on my bumper and I was able to make those disappear with a little bit of rubbing compound. For deeper scratches, however, I use touch up paint. Just fill the valley gradually with a thin layer of paint each time. Do this until your touch up paint fills up higher than the rest of the area. Let it dry until the next day and then wetsand it down using high grit sandpaper. Follow up on the area with polish and wax if the touch up paint is dull.

I don't know if I would try this on my car, I just got mine painted a couple of months ago and I got my roof chipped by a pretty big rock. I got some touch-up and I just have a blob covering it, it looks off but I don't know if I want to touch my paint with sandpaper.

correct me if im wrong but i think that wet sanding should only take off parts that are uneven...like leveling out a high spot...i hear it takes clear coat off which i need to do to my mirrors some time...but if u just got ur car painted and wanna fix this spot i would try it out just dont be sanding down a big spot around it or u can leave it as a big blob of hard paint thats how mine is now looks better then a white nick
