Removing car park scuff

[RichardA]

I discovered this damage a few days ago. Third hit-and-run in 18 months! Fortunately the damage is minor.

It looks like it happened at work sometime within the last month. Either that or it's a trolley ding from someone bringing up a trolley alongside the car.

Can this be fixed using a polish and the stone chip paint stick?

Bad luck old chap! the light scratch will come out with car plan metallic T-CUT, use it on the lower one too, then use a genuine honda touch up pen, they are under a fiver from the dealer, use a few layers, then a few layers of a good polish such as MER or auto-glym over both areas... should come up ok.

The lower one looks like it has scuffed a kerb, I doubt that it will look like new, but should look better than it does, use a primer first before applying thin layers of top coat, add little by little.

As Gaz says the top lighter sctratch should improve with T-Cut, and a good polish.

As both scratches are on the same panel it might be worth thinking about a smart repair if its your pride and joy.

Sorry to hear about your misfortunes.   It's heart breaking when you arrive back, to discover your pride and joy has been damaged. Auto Glym Super Resin Polish + touch up paint and keep away from all crazy Xmas shoppers!
I remember on Xmas eve a few years ago, I was waiting for fuel at a garage. A rather impatient woman decides to cut in front of myself and others queueing, and then leaving her handbrake off very nearly rolled into me! Gave her a blast of the horn,  then she shouting some expletives at me and drove off! I honestly think that festive stress can make some people do crazy things.

This one doesn't bother me too much after what happened back in August. I don't know when this happened as I haven't washed the car for a month now.

Polish it as best as you can using either T-Cut Scratch Remover, Meguairs ScratchX or Forieca G3 scratch remover then follow it up with some Autoglym Super Resin Polish. You will need a smart repair (£50-75) for the best results but I wouldn't bother until you intend to sell the car.

Bought some Farécla G3 Scratch Remover paste (cheaper than the Megs Scratch X, more positive reviews on the Halfords website than T-Cut scratch remover). Worked a treated in removing the scuff marks followed up some touch-in paint. It's not perfect but it doesn't catch the eye anymore when you pass.

The culprit appears to be a Sainsbury's trolley as the scuff marks match the frame/wheel assembly and the scratch halfway down the bumper matches the basket.

Good job.  I use the Farecla G3 brings the whole car up great then a nice polish to finish off.
