Car scratch repair question

[NetWareHead]

Some POS keyed my car...I dont know why but after being angry and fuming for a while I've not come to the point where I'm wondering how to repair this damage. It is a leased car or else I would just let it go. I took it to an autobody shop and the guy quoted me over 500. I remember seeing on TV some kind of cream/finish in a tube that you can just apply to a sponge and try it on the scratch and the damage magically dissappears. Does such a thing exist or are these products generally not worth their money. It is not bad damage, the jerk who did it did not key the car down to the metal but nonetheless, it is still noticeable. Any help out there?

Go to the dealership and purchase some paint. They usually sell them in a little roll on dispenser bottle.

if it was just the clear coat then I would get someone to wet sand it.

Got pics?

The only way to fix a keying to to anti-key it. Every key in the universe has an opposite. If you find that key and run it along the scratch, it will fix it.

I think Maaco has a special going right now... they'll paint a bumper (or I assume a bumper sized panel) for $100.

It really depends on how deep the scratch extends below the surface. If rubbing compound doesn't help, try picking up a good quality paint pen and try filling in the area as best as possible, compound again and then buff with wax.

No in the Matrix the key doesn't exist...
