Cat Scratches

[Fat Old Sun]

The cat keeps jumping onto the boot to get to the comfy material roof to have a sleep.

My midnight blue paint seems to show up scratches so easily...these are not deep, I can't even feel them with my fingernail but I can see them for sure.

I have no detailing experience but would appreciate advice on how to remove these scratches?

I used Meguiars Ultimate Compound recently on some light scratches in the clear coat on my Corolla and was very impressed with how effective it was at removing all visible traces of the scratches. A better product than T-Cut I think. It combines mild abrasion with filing properties.

Autoglym have a new advanced paint restorer out that may be worth a look too, can be hand applied.

+1 for Meguiars Ultimate Compound. Work the area by hand with a polishing pad, won’t do any harm.

Failing that, a detailer got a deeper cat scratch out of my car with some fine wet and dry paper then compound. Obviously tread carefully with this!

The main issue will be persuading the cat to relax somewhere else in future. I remember our neighbour unwittingly driving off with our cat still sitting the roof of her Saab convertible as he jumped on as she was getting in!

Some sort of cover for the boot perhaps?
