Default Scratched FM rear passanger panel

School parking lots suck, but im sure we all know that. The morning after our schools Homecomming game I realized a long scratch about 1 1/2 ft long on the side of my tC. I know it happened while i was watching the game. I havnt tried scratch X yet but I will, I think its more likely it will need to be repainted (Since my fingernail gets stuck on the edge of the scratch) or I just might cover it up with a pinstripe or something.

that doesnt look like it will need a repaint. if scratchX doesn't take it out, find a local detailer with a buffing machine and have him go at it with a more agressive polish and it should come out. you said that your fingernail gets stuck in it. That may be the case, but is the scratch down to the metal and/or primer or is there still paint/clearcoat left?

It is not down to the metal and I think it went through the clear coat and got the paint pretty well
