How do you repair this scratch??
Picture shown is a scratch I have on the trunk in titanium silver. It looks like it's through the clear coat from a flying rock. How do I repair this? Touch up paint then wet sand??

First try rubbing compound with a micro fiber cloth.
If you touch-up and then wet sand, you will sand away all the touch-up you just applied. If rubbing compound doesn't help, then you might need to get it repainted...silver colors don't usually touch-up well. You can try and see if you like it. |

from the pic, it looks more like a scuff mark than a deep scratch. Try claying it out first just in case it is a scuff
