Hello all,

I am just wondering if you have any suggestions for trying to improve the look of a scratch that some a$$wipe left on my car on a recent visit to a supermarket. (wonder why we get our shopping delivered most of the time)

I have a Honda jazz sport and the scratch is on the bumper so thankfully its not going to rust but it still looks ugly. It was really annoying as before we bought it it was in good condition for the age of it.

Here is a pic of the scratch

Thanks.

Ouch!! that doesnt look too good

If it was me, I would have to get it done properly which will probably be in the region of £60-100 ?

Annoying how people just dont care or have much respect to other people property!!

thats a bodyshop about £150-£200 range

the mobile shops are cheaper but they dont have a heat room and pain out side so i dont know how good they are

I had a feeling it might be a bit more than anything I can sort out. Annoying. This is the main reason I don't like to go to supermarkets as most of the other people seem to be totally blind and have no idea how to operate a car!

yeah its best let the professionals do it or you will be fussing with it all the time if you try it yourself and after they do it you wont know its there because they match the paint perfectly better than you would be able to do

sucks to have damage on your car i've been there
