Default Removing scuffs

Hi all just a question about a scuff some twat just done while in a car park.

Will I be able to polish it out and what would I need. It's not to deep think it's just took the top off it but it's still annoying. Would normal polish do it after a wash or need something more thanks.

Super resin is a great filler mate, but as Mat has said we are well and truly pissing in the wind untill we see a pic LOL!!

Get a pic up fella

a cutting compound will take off the white (the other car was white? garage door frames so similar damage)
and tidy the scratch but it will need paint to make it perfect
a good polish will make it far better tho

Looks like its gone down to the primer. If its a scuf from another object you should be able to polish it out no problem .

I'll give it a good wash and polish tommorrow. Im not too bothered about it being perfect trhe car needs a entire respray so just after a quick fix for now. I was parked next to a white shogun so no guessing who done it really. Just very annoying when it happens.

It needs machine polishing mate, you wont touch it with SRP, a fairly heavy cut like 3m green fast cut plus would probably do the job
