How many days are you willing to dedicate to the task? Lol.

1 hour. just 1 scratch probably when the dealership was prepping it.

Just 1 scratch?[emoji2955] In that case it’ll be a piece of cake. I believe Meguiars sells a scratch kit, but really all you need is some Meguiars Ultimate Compound, microfiber applicator, and a microfiber towel. It’ll take less than 2 minutes.
