Son of a motherless goat...got keyed

[Paulie Walnuts]

Went back to my undergrad college this weekend and when I washed the car today noticed a nice long scratch in the car that has got to be some drunken idiot keyed it. Im no detailing rookie, I been doing this for almost 5 years and know that this scratch is through the clear and almost to the primer. Buffing isnt going to do much and I dont want to spend the money to have it re-painted. My question is what will have the most filling properties to try and minimize the look of the scratch?

Z5 hid a little but I was wondering if there is something else that will hide more of it.

Thanks.

RMG or Meg's #7 in my opinion. Sucks to here that. It is sick how some people are just so careless and disrespectful towards other's personal property.

I'm so sorry to hear about that! Doesn't it just make you sick to your stomach to find your car's been vandalized? It's horrible! How are your wet sanding skills? You could sand just the area along the scratch and then buff out the sanding marks. Whatever (if anything) is left of the scratch afterwards the RMG or #7 would probably fill it in. The XMT carnauba finishing glaze is very good too. I like it even better than the #7. I'm so sorry about what happened to your poor car! I wish you luck. Take care. :)

i think i would straight up go ballistic if my car was keyedTrust me, I am doing everything in my power to be calm about it. My Maxima is my baby. I want to get it repainted but I dont have the money to have anything more than just repainting it and I dont know if I want to do that or if I will need to have it blended.

I have not done it before. Worse case is I go through the clear and repain after winter, which I will probably end up doing anyways.
