Need advice for a scratch
Just got my 328 in deep green with the saddle brown interior and sport package. Looks amazing, except for the 2 scratches in the front fender. They are deep enough that they look like white lines. Unfortunately, the Venture Shield clearbra doesn't go on until next week. Two questions:
1. What can I do about the scratches? 2. Does any one have the Venture Shield clearbra? I decided to go with it since they have a lifetime warranty. |

I had a major scratch put on my 335i by a shitty tint shop and I went to a very good detail shop and its all but gone now. Small scratches I just buff them out myself but this one was way to deep and needed to be wet sanded and I wasn't up to doing that to my car.
I have the 3M clear bra so I can't speak on the one you are getting but its very worth getting it on your car.

If it's white, try Meguiar's ScratchX. Works wonders.

It's saved my bumper 2-3x already. The white scratches disappear. Don't overuse it though, it's pretty abrasive and WILL go through your CC. Make sure to seal the paint right away again after using it because you're basically taking all the protective layer off to fix the scratch. |

I have a small scratch on my car (maybe 1 inch or less) and it looks like it might have gone down to the metal... I can't use scratch-x on that right?
should I just take it to a detail shop? |

I have several light swirls and one spot where bird crap etched my paint. Is Scrath-X too abrasive for the light stuff and the etching? The swirls are in the clearcoat, no deeper and the bird crap doesn't seem to be too bad. Thanks
