Well you can't use the warranty to fix the scratch because it's not a defect in manufacturing (the car didn't scratch itself). If its bad (2 inch scratch = not bad) you can go through insurance to fix the damage but that'd be stupid... deductable, higher rates, etc...

My only suggestion is to use touch up paint if its a deep scratch. Or if its a minor scratch, use Meguiar's Scratch X. I had a rather noticable scratch on my hood. Don't know how it got there, but I used Scratch X and a little buffing and while it didn't completely remove the scratch, it made it almost unnoticable even to me who scrutinizes my finish daily.

 

hey DuMa....same thing happened to me.....i think the world is out to get me and my baby tc....yeah ive been trying to figure out what to use to fix it....im gonna try that meguirar's scratch x...one scratch is too deep though so im gonna fix that in the spring

 

Yup. Touch up paint will do it if it's bad enough, but otherwise go someplace like Detail City - http://detailcity.com/

You'll find a whole host of great information and informative people that'll help you out. Snap a pic of it if you get the chance. Maybe some of us can help you out a bit.

Sorry to hear about it. The first ding/scratch/dent on a new car is always a lousy experience.

I highly recommend DentWizard (www.dentwizard.com).

 

If you got a clear coat on it try and buff it out.

 

i got a couple of light scratches that can be covered up with that meguires scratch x....but one of them iis from a rock on the saw mill pkwy and its deep....i can see the black beneath it....i have no idea what to do about that one....anyone got any ideas....aight later peoples

 

The world hates u cause u have a pic of my wife as ur avaiter haha..anyway sorry to hear that about the tc....it must be hurtin....

 

you don't need to use the f word that much. thanks for not using it in the future as there are other ways to express ones feelings through an expanded vocabulary

 

its a scratch and a mini-dent. i dont see how its coming off.... i cant use my imagination. im gonna try to get a pic soon.

 

If its on the bumper you can do what I am doing. Bodykit!

 

i hate scratches...

they make me wanna cry

 

i dont wanna hear it ..... some mother f*cker keyed my car fender to fender like 10 times .. its going to cost me a grand to get it fixed

 

>_< sorry to hear about that man... i would suggest trying to buff it out too.. If thats not working, the touch up paint should do.. then wax over that part and clear coat it

 

Bummer. :?
I usually park far, in a corner. Always fold in my side view mirrors too.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'd rather walk that have dinged up doors and such.

 

only prob with parking further is a higher chance of vandalism cus less people to witness. it has both advantages and disadvantages.

 

i swear i have scratches that make me scratch my head. where the hell do they come from. I park far away and stuff like that and they just appear. I think I have about 15 little scratch on my xB. I hate it!
