Got a fine scratch on the wing from a stray twig down a country lane.

Tried a light application of T-cut followed by Autoglym Polish, but it's still there...albeit quite faint.

Any advice would be appreciated.

If you can feel it with your nail then def fill it, if you cannot then just polish it out.

I see loads of detailers just polishing or even wet sanding back to flat, and while that will work, it's a one time quick fix.
Always better to fill it with some clear coat and wet sand back.

Cheers mate. I can't feel it at all, and the paint is still smooth on the area....just looks like a light mark. Though I have polished it already, perhaps I need to be a little firmer!
