I have a one inch scratch where someone keyed my new car ....It is not down to the metal so do I still need touch up paint besides the kit ???

If the scratch is not down you dont need to touch up paint besides the kit, the kit will help you to disappear the scratch.

Nate,I bought my wife hers for Christmas, and it still doesn't have any scratches. I would contact your supplier and ask what they are able to do for you.

It bent our bumper. I haven't removed it so I couldn't tell you if it leaves scratch marks.

What you can do, is get touch up paint of the color of your car. Lightly build up layer after layer till it's above the paint scratch line.Let it cure for a 3 to 4 days. And then use the process with the quick scratch remover. Use the compound and bring it down to level with The paint line. And then buff with the finishing compound. It will probably turn out better than you think. Good luck

If your scratches are truly minor, this would work, but use it only where needed. Your original finish is probably better as is if it is in "good" condition. Use this on the scratches and follow up with a true wax, not a polish, on the rest of the car.

Man I'm sorry to hear that. If the key scratch goes through the clear coat I don't think this will help. This is for the spider webs and swirls you see in the sun in your paint. I don't know if you have a buffer but I would start with a more aggressive polish (V34 or V36?) on the orbital and work your way up. If you don't have a machine find a detailer. It would probable be cheaper that way and he will do it right.

No, not unless the rust is removed, primed and then sprayed. I used it after sanding, a bonding, priming, matching the paint and then the clear coat. It might help over a fresh scrape. once there is rust, it has to be repaired. Hope that helps.

No. You would be wise to confirm with a body shop. I would think the metal embedded in the rust stains would simply be ground further into the paint.

No touch ups yet. I've driven the car to the top sail island in nc recently, then back to stl. No chips, no wear, no fading. But remember, it's a matte so it needs a nice shine once in a while (normally just rinse with water). The car's been thru the automatic car wash as well, and still holding up just fine. :)

This will not be a problem. I would suggest that if the car has not been waxed in the past six months that a light paint finish cleaner(Meguires has a good product) be applied first, then a good wax. This would insure that the car paint finish is well protected and will look like it just came off the assembly line.

It's not very easy to scratch with normal use. But if anything sharp comes across it like a knife or something that will scratch it. I had it on my dash plastics in my car so it should remove without any issues. It might be easier to remove if you heat it up a bit while peeling it off.

Likely. I didn't scratch the paint to see that. Guess I not very curious as long as it works. Does this help?

Deep scratch is relative. As long as the scratch has not cut completely through the bumper, the glazing compound should work fine. File down all high spots. Use an auto putty spreader. Use thin multiple applications as opposed to a single application. Wet sand.

Living in New England I tend to get scratches and chips monthly and I use the kit.I simply apply the resin and cover it with the uv drying mechanism provided and it takes care our the scratch. You might be able to catch a small part of it with your nail I would say makes it 99 percent invisible I highly recommend it....I'm super picky about my car I grave used it probably 10 times for tint nicks.

You really need to check your paint code. If unsure of where it is, check the Dupli-color website. It could be under the hood, the drivers door sill, in the glovebox, etc. That code will tell you what touch-up paint you need. Good luck.

No. Save your money. Call around to you local body shop and ask to see when the paintless dent repair person will be there.

You would deffenantly have to sand it down first. The original paint would just bubble up underneath. If you read my review, the paint is the least of your worries.
