Scratch in Clearcoat not Paint
My buddy brought his hounds over the other night and they did a number on the driver side door of the car. It didn't get the paint, just the clear coat. Is there a different means to fix these than deeper paint scratches?

I think that One Grand
I think that One Grand makes a glaze type finish that you can use, but when I have seen this done it was on a pretty deep size mark. How bad is this one of yours?
Its pretty light, kind of
Its pretty light, kind of equivalent to if you drive by a tree too close. It makes those scratches that aren't quite deep but noticeable all the same. Drives me crazy between waxings.
There you go, I think that
There you go, I think that that a good waxing by hand should take care of it. The risk with applying a new top coat to the area is that you might end up with the clear coat looking lumpy in the area. You are better to just polish it out.
This is the one repair
This is the one repair I have seen done, the scratch erased, with a lot of work and wax. It won't be as tough as the clear coat, but you can at least make it look nice again.
