Let’s make this more business-like.
These scratches that you refer to:
- Are they through the clearcoat and into the basecoat?
- Does your fingernail catch the edges of the scratch?
- Are you sure it’s not just paint-transfer?
If it isn’t through the clearcoat, and your fingernail doesn’t catch the edge of the scratch, there’s a good chance that they can be polished out via a few steps with wetsanding, and machine polish. You can go as far as filling it in with touch-up paint, wetsand, repeat as necessary, and then polish. It’s hard to say what can be done, and what can’t without physically examining the problem area, but I’ll say with confidence that it can be substantially reduced in terms of appearance without a repaint.
Are there other reasons that justify a repaint?
Glazing and waxing with quality products will reduce the appearance of deeper scratches and imperfections, and eliminate spider-webbing (aka micro-marring) and light swirls.
Let me know if you have any more questions!
