Keyed scratches on car

[Shocker]

Hi
I got my roof and bonnet keyed last week. ( as picture above )
After much buffing and polishing with black polish I have managed to get them looking not to bad
Only problem now is that the surrounding area of clear coat is all hazy and misty
Do I need to keep going at it with a fine finishing polish or have I damaged the clear coat beyond repair

From my experience, if it's hazy, that means you need a finer grit polisher. Not sure what it will be like if it has gone through the clear. I would assume that it would be flat black.

ouch. That is quite a lot of coin. I hope karma comes around to the ******* who did it!

Hi,

Sorry to hear about the damage. A few weeks ago some low life keyed my daughters car all along one side. I used a local Smart repair man who I've used before and the repair is faultless, and set her back £325. The panel shops were quoting over £1000 to do the work and a lot of sucking through their teeth while looking at the damage.

From the looks of it, Shocker has metallic flake in the car's paint. It was probably more than just 2 panels to blend everything in.
