hi guys,
can anyone recommend a good product for filling scratches? went to work today feeling like sh1t as i have man flu, and just to add to my misery a clients dog decided to say hello as i drove in, leaving a lovely set of scratch marks right down the drivers door. ive done as much as i dare with a polisher and some poorboys, but with no paint gauge (its on my xmas list) i daren't risk pushing it much further. any help or advise would be greatly appreciated. i heard talk of red moose being quite good somewhere, but then i hear a lot of things
the vehicle in question is a deep blue metallic toyota hiace

Ah man I feel your pain, unfortunately fillers are really only designed to work on very light swirling/marring. If you've done what you can via machine and can still see them, the chances are that the likes of srp, black hole, red moose etc probably won't do much at all.
Smart repair maybe?

Have the client of the dog fix the damage.

Thanks for the advise Dave, Albeit not quite what I was hoping to hear
In truth, with a couple of coats of blue velvet over the top it's not really too noticeable, might not want to point a brinkmann at it though!

The dogs owner is a 8k a year client, and a very good one to boot. Theyre few and far between these days, so no, they won't be being asked to pick up the bill.

decided to give order some blackhole and give it a whirl, nothing to lose. anything i should know before slapping it on?

Don't think blacks hole is going to make a dif dude, especially if you machined it already, but a as you said nothing to lose

its quite possible that whats left would polish out, i just havent got the balls to keep going at it without knowing how deep the clearcoat is (especially as i went through it on the other door earlier in the year with a foam applicator and some AG paint renovator!). also had a horse lean over the fence where i was parked up this afternoon and sharpen its teeth on the passenger side wing, so i might be looking at a little trip to a dad for a respray before long anyway

Try Lime Prime followed by SN Hybrid for some spectacular filling in certain circumstances. Works nicely on 2000 grit sand marks, but these are quite consistent and relatively shallow than RDS created by doggies!

Thanks Dom, I'll give it a go. Bought some hybrid just last week as it happens

Unfortuantly if you can machine polish it out then what I usually do is get some paint that comes with a brush that is the same as the car, and some clear coat and get to work.

Niblick what color is the vehicle your working on?

It's a dark blue metalic

You could buy a paint that matches yours fill in the scratch, wet sand it, apply a clear coat using a small brush, wet sand and then buff it all out. worked pretty good for me but metallic is very hard to match I used this on my 2002 Volvo with black metallic and you cant really see the difference in the paint but I can cause I know where I did the work but others cant tell unless you study the paint.
