Is it possible to repair localised scratches to the top coat of Metallic Paint on my car?

I have lightly scratched a few areas on the bonnet of my car trying to remove deposits from birds!!

    There are products available to remove minor surface scratches from the paint clear coat found on late model cars. Maguire wax Corp. makes a good product that works.

    try this first slide your finger nail across the paint, if you can feel the scratch, it should be painted. If you cant feel the scratch, try a clear coat wax, rub the wax in very hard and buff off extra wax. If this does not fix the problem, you can use colored wax, even with metalic paint, it will cover the scratches

  4. Just one thing to beware of, most modern cars with metalic paints have a clear coat over the top so don’t use products like T-Cut.
    These will only create a patch of scratched clear coat on your car.

  5. I used this japanese brand solution called Klitz Clear by Soft99. It can help to clear up swirls from polish and minor scratches. It works like a liquid polish.

  6. The only way to repair a scratch is to repaint the affected panel which as you know can be a bit extreme if the surface of the lacquer is only scratched. The other solution is to basically cosmetically hide the scratches by filling in with a number of products, all designed to hide the scratch but not remove it. If the scratches have not gone through to the basecoat(coloured) paint, use ‘3M hand glaze’, available only from a specialist auto supplier. This product is a bit of a trade secret and is especially renowned for making second car paint work look a treat. Its about £10 for the bottle but will last forever. The scratches will re appear when you wash the car but just re polish.
