Hey guys, I just purchased a used GS 350 a few days ago and while parked at the grocery store I came out to what looked like a dent from a license plate frame on my front bumper. It is pretty hard to see the dent but at the correct angle you can tell and it seems like the clear coat was either scratched or cracked a little along that dent. I can physically feel crevices along clear coat with my nail running along it. What is that best way to hide this imperfection in the clear coat?

You can't. You need a repaint if you feel the damage with your finger nail, and especially if the paint cracked. Sorry to hear that.

Just purchase a bottle of touch up paint that exactly matches your color code and touch up the scratch. If its a deep scratch that you can feel when you run your finger across it, then you cannot buff it out.

Carefully touch it up and in a couple of days you'll forget it was there..

If it's a tiny scratch which you can't feel with your fingers while running across them , a normal wax or paint sealant will cover up those defects but if the scratch is deep , then only option is touch up paint used with a tooth pick or tiny bristled paint brush.

I have seen few turtle wax paint scratch repair kits but have never tried them out yet. I too have few serious scratch's on my paint which i need to do something soon about. Might buy the Turtle Wax paint Kit and will let you know how good or bad it it. Touch up paint usually looks bad if not done properly.
