Can you describe the marks in a little more details? The depth of the imperfections will be a large determining factor in what your process will be. Pictures would be great as well. The more information you can provide the better we can help.

scrathes that cant catch your finger nail wil com out easy with a mild polish and a really light cutting pad you might be able to rub them out by hand i dont recomend it. if its a scratch the catches your nail you might have to step down to a compond and go threw a few stages to bring it back out

Man it looks seriously bad... U guys think it's still possible to remove, or at least make less noticiable?





Also, what can I do with my interior? Passenger kicked it with their shoes, and it kinda left a mark. Tried to rub it off with fingers but was unable to remove it.

Sorry, your screwed on that scratch. Looks like you might need to have that one repainted. And as far as the interior scratches, I would just have a body shop paint it with auto paint. You know, so it looks all shiny. Make for a nice custom interior.

Any other way? I mean the material is so cheap... One slight kick would make a mark there...

For the interior I don't think there is too much you can do. An interior dressing may make it look slightly better but may not fix it entirely. You could try the 303 Aerospace Protectant or Poorboy's World Natural Look.

For the exterior it's tough to tell if those marks went all the way through the paint. It looked like one area the paint may have been gone but I couldn't tell for sure. Some of that looks like it may clean up and possibly more. I would suggest polishing the surface to help buff them out. It's hard to know exactly what polishes you'll need but I would at least start out with a medium polish and follow it up with a light polish. You may need to use a heavy polish though for best results and follow up with a medium and light polish for best results. If you have a buffer that will be a major help working in the polish. Here are some polishes that should help if you need advice:

Menzerna Power Gloss (heavy)
Menzerna Intensive Polish (medium)
Menzerna Final Polish II (light)

Let me know if you have other questions.

Hasnt the interior mark happen to any of you guys? How did you guys manage to get rid of it, or do you just ignore it?

There's no paint on the front bumper. If this is a daily driver, you may be content with touch-up paint. To restore the bumper completely have it painted.

You may be able to hide the interior scuff marks with Mothers Back-to-Black. Works well for me.
