Angry M door got scratched :( ... Any place in TO I can get it fixed?

I was driving in a heaviliy wooded area last week and a tree branch scratched my door.

The scratches are not deep, very superficial and barely felt by touch. My car is black, and the crachces are white. Hopefully they can be removed by buffing.

Does anyone have any recommendation for a place in Toronto who is specialized in treating this type of skin disorder?

thanks

I feel your pain man... but I would just go with waxing and some TLC... I had some similar scratches on my previous car, and I just learned to live with it... they were really superficial, and with some regular waxing, you couldn't see it unless you were 2 inches away

Every body shop I went to, told me to repaint the door, which came out to $300... with the nice paint on our Z's, you might be looking at closer to $500+

So unless you want a repaint, and risk having the colour not match the rest of your car, I'd just polish, wax and detail it.

Hope that helps.

If they are surface scratches, you should be able to get them out with Zaino Z5 (you may need 2 coats). Finish up with Z2 with a coat of Z6 after each coat.

I had come surface scratches and can not find them anymore after this process.

Of course, if you want to start from "scratch", you should get down to the clearcoat and do the claybar routine as well.
