Chipex: any good for this?

[Maxym]

Fine scratches inflicted by a van in a car park. The longest is about 6 inches/15 cm.

If Chipex no good, any other smart solution you can recommend?

Can you feel them when you run your fingers across the area or just see them? Most of that looks like it will just polish out to me but it’s obvs a bit hard to tell from one pic

Definitely feel them. Too deep to polish out. I used to be a bit OCD and have successfully polished out scratches before... but these are beyond polishing.

I use chippex. It might hide the scratch a little bit but will still look st! If it were me I’d be looking for a good bodyshop.

OK thanks. I get the impression that Chipex works for chips... but these ain't chips so...

Yeah I don’t think that’ll work with chipex , sorry (though it is quite cool generally)

Should be a v cheap smart repair tho and is a nice easy colour to match. We’d prob charge about £80.

A decent smart repairer will sort it (they do exist) or a coloured polish would hide it.

That would be a lot of work to do it with a chipex kit.

That’ll look terrible with something like Chipex. A decent smart repairer should be able to sort it out. It may be worth running a polisher over it first though to see what really needs to be sorted.
