Fixing Scratches & Peeling??

Zero-Phux-Given · Feb 17, 2018

I just noticed some scratches & a dent/peel piece on my car and would love some advice on what to do.

Here is a picture album of what I noticed: https://imgur.com/a/e9gOi

Front Bumper:
Zig-Zag Scratch [1] [2]
Loop scratch [1] [2]

Rear Bumper:
Dent with peeling plastic / clear coat? [1]

Side Panel:
Horizontal Scratch [1]

Hood:
Long scratch [1]

Any advice on how to fix these issues?

You can probably polish the first one out but the rest are PDR/respray jobs.

So would I not be able to fix the scratches with 3000/5000 grit sandpaper and some polish?

Any idea how much it would cost to get them professionally fixed?

Absolutely no idea how they happened, I've owned the car since 2014 and only noticed them now.

I would find a good paint shop and ask them to look at. They can give an estimate. You might could have the easier ones fixed if you want to keep cost down. Touch up paint the others. Dentless repair place can also help. They can let you know what they work on.

Could be from shopping carts.
Some customers could care less.

Had a coworkers car get damaged by a dog.
Cat went up front wheel well and dog tore into it. Actually bent the fender.
Tough dog.
