So i just found out my car got keyed and im not the kind of guy who would rev up the neighborhood. Anyway, im looking for a solution and hopefully the detail gurus in here can help me with certain type of compound product or anything that can help me fix this. Thanks guys.

Damn, I feel for you.
I never understood why people actually do this to someone's else's car...smh

Ouch... That should come out, hopefully! Lot of buffing, compound, and wax.

Don't mind the key marks, people are envious of your USB ISF

Sorry to hear! What sucks is it doesn't look like it will buff out. If it has to be resprayed, it may never match.

...now with that in mind, did the vandal happen to hit the whole entire car, or just a few panels? You may need to go through insurance to get the whole car resprayed.

First test If you can catch it with your finger nail. If it does catch no compound going to help. That mean it past the clear and paint itself. At that point it either touch up or paint from a body shop.

I hate people who do this. They are just jealous of your car.

By the looks of it, you would probably need to respray those areas...

Wtf???? If you can't buff it out I would try a touch up marker of the exact same color from the dealer!

+1 for going through insurance if you have full coverage. You can try buffing it out to save some money but a respray might be better.

If over a certain % of panels are scratched they spray the whole car.

Damn that looks like it's through the paint. Get a quote from the body shop and then call up your insurance if your comprehensive deductible is not too high.

is the scratch down to the primer or is it on top of the paint ?

Unfortunately, those look way to deep to correct without applying paint. No amount of polish, buffing, or wax is going to get rid of those.

I'd suggest taking it to a paint and body shop to ask for a quote. If the cost is high enough, consider an insurance claim. If you are looking for a DIY solution, you could look into getting a paint pen, but it will never look as good as just getting a respray.

dr. colorchip can probably make it look 60-70% better.

I had scratches down to the metal on my M Roadster and my guy was able to make them disappear without paint. Lots of time and massaging the paint is the trick, something I could never do.

Too deep for any paint correction, you'll need to get those resprayed.

If you're going to have it repainted (which I'm pretty sure you will), I would start looking for a residence that has a garage, and I don't mean one of those underground public garages, I mean your own garage, otherwise this crap may happen again.

I'd file a police report for vandalism as well.
