What would you recommend i do?
 
Edit: That spelling of recommend in the title tho

I'm not very familiar with body work so i do not know what i would do to fix these/ if it is even worth it.

First picture: scratch seems like someone keyed it not sure because when i came back to my car after work it was there...

2nd + 3rd: Dent, some paint removed, dont wanna talk about how it happened.. ill just leave this here lol :bonk:

on the first photo... is the scratch super deep? if you rub your finger nail over it, can you feel it?


on the dent, i have a very similar dent in my door, was quoted $600 to fix and paint

If the scratch isn't deep, it can be buffed out.

bad news for the dent D: but as for the scratch when i went over it with my nail it makes a noise as if my finger nail when into the scratch a little so i would assume its not super deep

If you dont have a DA polisher and don't want one, I would purchase a small 8 oz bottle of M105 and M205 with some handheld cutting and polishing pads. Wash the area thoroughly and use the m105 to compound the damage, and the m205 to refine and polish the area. I won't link any products but pm me if you have questions etc.

Oh, heck, I'd suggest you just get some store bought "scratch remover" (or something like that) and work on those places ......... and call it good.

I'll wager that within a couple weeks, you won't even "see" them anymore. Besides, if you just "buff them out" ...... the next time you mess up a spot on your car, you won't feel all that bad about it ............;)

you can use Dr Colorchip on that scratch if a simple wax/buff won't get rid of it. I have that and it works pretty well on small things.

As for your door, someone probably opened the door and hit something. that one's a pain to fix because it's on a seam.
