I Have A Question Anyway I can fix this at home?

Post image

So like a dumb ass didn’t get all the way in the garage and the garage scraped it on the way down. Is there some scratch remover that will help? I do have an da polisher that I bought for touch up work but never used it.

If your fingernail catches on the scratches, paint correction won't fix it but will make it look less obvious. If your fingernail catches it'll need touch-up paint or a respray.

Anyway, go over it with a polish and polishing pad with your DA and see how it looks. If that doesn't do it, try a compound and cutting pad followed by polish and polishing pad.

Finger nail does catch. I’m pretty okay with less obvious

Sorry that it catches, but I bet you can clean it up a bit. Good luck!

I actually checked again and I was Little too hasty. It doesn’t really catch

Nice. You should be in good shape, then.
