Scratches all over, what options do I have?
All,
My neighbor while doing construction sprayed cements all over half of my car then told his guy to clean it up (I wasnt home at the time).
Result is scratches all over
Now I dont know if detail or touch up would fix it. I dont want to repaint since the neighbor would probably not be going to pay that much.
I am attaching pics for you to see.
Anyone please advise?
Thanks a bunch.
Kev
PS: My pics are too big so Im going to resize them...

Would be great to see the pics, real good chance that it can be buffed out
I did a call recently that had the same thing happen, it came out.
Might want to look for a good detailer in your area.

I have pics but cant resize them at work to attach for you to see.
But some scratches are deep. Can they still be buffed away?

If you can feel them with your finger nails then they might be to deep, those can in some cases be filled but this depends on the type of paint that you have, metallic is hard to do this process and get right.
Re-size the pics of send them to me via email and I can tell you better.
In any case I good detailer can remove allot of defects lets hope that yours aren't to bad

Re: Scratches all over, what options do I have?
In viewing what you have I would suggest a detailer that understands wet sanding, most of what I see will buff out using a rotary and a mild to aggressive polish then some wet sanding to get the rest out. I will say that they went after your car pretty badly, and without really getting my hands on it you might still be stuck with some touch up painting.
Where are you located? Might be able to find someone for you
