If it's minor, you can try Meguiar's Scratch-X by hand or Nu Finish.

If it's more severe, you'll probably need a dual-action random orbital, orange/yellow cutting pad, and a medium/heavy polishing compound. This will smooth the clear coat around the scratch, effectively removing it.

But, if the scratch is through your clear coat, paint, and down to the base, then you'll need to repaint it... professionally or with some touch-up paint.

Yes, always see if you can try to buff it out before you go to any of the more extreme and costly options.

Can anyone recommend an online store to buy OEM paint markers for a 2008 G Sedan, I need it in liquid platinum.

After a year of methodically checking my car every time i park, my friend accidently scratched the back of my car with an aluminum picture frame, looks like it cut to the plastic. THE HORROR. THE HORROR.
