Hi guys,
I was referred to come here to ask you guys for some advice from someone on another forum.
Here's the breakdown:
Someone used a key to write "Booger" on top of my wheel fender close to the hood of the car. When I tried, I could get the scratch with my nail, it was not very deep at all., but it is noticable.
I found out who it was and he will be paying.
My friend used some scratch-X with a buffer today, and he manage to make it better but its still there and noticable. He says he's 75% sure he can get it off with a little more time. We tried a few applications, and it did make it a lot better. I did a test, and used water with a wash mitt to wash the scratch and see if it would come back, it APPEARS as though the scratch got a little bit worst, but it is minimal.
Here's a picture of the scratch BEFORE we applied scratch-x with a buffer:

MY QUESTIONS:
1) Is the scratch below the clear coat?
2) Will scratch-x with a buffer work eventaully if we keep applying it?
3) How exactly should we be applying the scratch-x? Just to make sure we're doing ti right.
4) Is it normal that after we apply the scratch x and then wash the place where we applied it, that the scratch gets worst than before we washed it? Or am I tripping?
