A4 hit, left marks, need help deciding what to do

[Crazymonkey3650]

Hi all,
So these scratches have been on my car for a bit now, it was estimated at around 1,000 to have a body shop fix it. Frankly at the current moment, although I could afford it, that just isn't the best use of my money! However I would love to try and fix it up atleast a little better myself. I was going to order Dr.paintchip for rock chips, and was wondering if that would also work with this? I would need to sand it or something aswell! Anyone have any experience or ideas I could try?

I've had luck with 3M Scratch Remove, http://www.autogeek.net/3m-scratch-remover.html#reviews, to get ride of the scrapes.

I've also used Dr. Colorchip for small rock chips. It won't match 100% but for $60 it's worth a shot.

Might be best to try a good detailer to try maybe a fine wet sand them compound and Polish back to clear.. may not be perfect but close... Next step would be a repaint..
Where in pa are you?

Since this is not an Audi specific issue, you can find many, many you tube videos on various techniques to address the damage. With some color matched spray paint and right sanding/polishing techniques, you can get a result that will be quite acceptable..at least as an interim fix until you are ready to have a pro do a repaint.

How much do you estimate that would cost? Central PA

The fender has a dent?

Can say to 99% it wont look good If you "fix" this yourself. Since you ask how to, it wont look good :)
