Came out of work the other day to find a nice big mark on the side of the mini where someones obviously opened their car door onto it.

Now, i'm f'ing pissed, but we dont have a camera in the carpark so i can't go back through the cameras to get them :evil: Whats the best way to go about making it look good as new again?

Cheers,
Robbie

If there's no dent, a bit of cut and polish might see it buff out without a trace. See if you know someone who works at Supercheap, they may be able to get you a discount :wink:

Just try some quick clay on it first, you would be amazed what this stuff will remove from your paint.

What sort of paint is on your car 2 Pac or acrylic, just be careful if is 2 pac that you don't use anything that is too abrasive but you should be able to polish it off , if your unsure take it to a panel shop they should be able to sort it for you.

Is it a deep scratch, or just a papercut?
