Just discovered some scratches behind the door handle. I don't have long nails at all. How did that happen!! argh.. How much would it cost to fix?

Also, another one. Had to drive to another office today. Don't know what happened. Now, some marks on the side of the front bumper. VERY FRUSTRATED...
Is it worth to fix it?

hey doc. sorry to see the nicks in the paint. I took some extra clear bra material and put some in the door handle wells. I just rough cut it and its nearly invisible and it has done pretty well to protect against those scratches.
As for the bumper itlookslike you should just use the touch up paint with a toothpick.

those scratches look pretty light.. trying using some mequires scratch-x.. should take them out.

i used to get those on my civic.. i just applied a lil car wax on a towel and wiped it off. it came off completely for me. it was more like dirt than scratches and yours looks exactly how mine did. it should come off

I've had that happen to every car i've owned, including the IS

Meguiars scratch-x seems to work well on light scratches. It might not make your paint look prestine, but it will sure help as much as possible.

I have the blue onyx on my IS, and while I love the color, I find the paint to very thin and fragile. I have more nicks and dings in 6 months than my last car had in 3 years.

you can put a piece of clear bra material behind the handles. pocky showed me his and you can't even tell.

I have that constantly and the scratch X or any polish will get it off completely. I was once told this and used it ever since, its all good.

If not fingernails, then perhaps it's caused by rings.

Milla...

Yup, they're just scuffs marks.
