Hey guys,
I was playing soccer yesterday and accidentally hit my car a couple of times and didn't realize it left a couple of scratches. I desperately need a way of covering up the scratches. I've tried googling but their methods aren't an option for me at the moment. Any suggestions would be helpful

AFAIK you can buy those touch up markers from ebay/online that matches your car paint and DIY. Cost around $30 or so.

Obviously it doesn't beat real panel work but for small scratches if you put in some effort it can look like new.

If you don't mind spending about $200 then you can try getting one of those mobile touch up people to come. They are like onsite mobile techs but do fixes for scratches, dent etc....


Here, found a link for you.

You mean your parent's car? Or someone else's car. If it was your own car, you wouldn't be so desperate to fix it.

But a crappy DIY paintjob ain't gonna cut it. In fact, it'll probably make it look worse. Like this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-19349921 So get some pros to fix it.

Just because you don't take care of your car doesn't mean nobody else does, he could have a 1967 corvette and you wouldn't know it. I actually did a touch up job with those little bottles of paint from Walmart that are for cars on my 2002 Ford Taurus.

OP: I'd probably use one of those if you have a walmart nearby, it might not exactly match with your car, but if you can match the paint color number from your car to the one in the bottle, it might look darn near close to perfect.

Thanks guys, i actually realized it was just marks on the car which looks exactly like really bad scratches but all i had to end up doing was rub the marks off, thank god. It was my brothers mondeo as well, i just said it was mine in fear that he would ever come across this blog lol.

Glad to hear nothing bad came out of it. For future reference: Walmart has some cheap scratch repair/removers for light scratches. As long as is hasn't gone through the paint or to the steel underneath.

In my experience:
Nu Finish Scratch Doctor (it sucks, waste of money).

Meguiar Scratch X 2.0 (works great)
