Really F##ked off this morning , some git has run their keys down the side of my car , can anyone recommend some one/where i can get this damage sorted ? .Its not excessively deep , i have tried the usual T cut / coloured wax but its still noticeable , any help would be appreciated.
gutted no one respects each others property no more.
We used these when had a little scrape : http://www.chipsaway.co.uk/services/paintwork-scratches?gclid=CJLVosDjtLECFYcNfAodKnkAAw
If the scratch isn’t too deep it can be polished out. This is best done with a machine rotary (professional) or dual action (easy) polisher rather than by hand using a medium grit rubbing compound. You then bring back to full gloss using a polish. Deep scratches that go through the colour coat and to primer or metal will need touch up paint. This is slightly more time consuming. In short you need to apply the paint and then wet sand any raised surface and then buff out with a polish. Let me know if you need any more info as this is a very simplistic explanation.
another vote for chips away.
G3 paste, micro fibre cloths. Give it a try.
Defo! works great, unless its down to base coat. If it is then go the smart paint repair route, a fraction on a respray with epic results.
You can certainly feel the scratch with a finger nail,it didn’t look too bad at first and i thought it would polish out easily , seems it wasn’t malicious but the local children going down the side of the car with their scooter,
I’m going to give this stuff a go , there are some reasonable reviews of their products.

Sorry to hear this mate. Not nice. Upset anyone lately or just a random t*sser?
A few years back I had a brand new company car and within 6 months someone keyed it…EVERY SINGLE PANEL including the roof, doors, bumpers…nothing spared…big wavy lines too…not just a straight scratches. I’d done nothing (that I’m aware of) to upset anyone that badly!! Needed a full respray. Couple of grand
Hope you can sort it out without repsraying.
