is it a deep one or is it just kinda like a surface scratch that you can buff out? If you can buff it out I suggest using a clay bar and a good wax compound (ie carnauba), should take care of it pretty well. If it's deep, I think duplicolor makes this new touch up paint with like a ball point tip, supposed to work pretty good.

Scratch X - Meguiars

It should take care of the white parts, not sure about the bare metal (prolly not). It worked wonders for my car (stupid narrow mall parking spots)!

thanks for the comment, your household is $30,000..i think mines is $30,000 - $40,000. i dont know what our combined hosehold would be though.. im just guessing aroung 100 or so... even still i dont have money to finish my car the way i want... takes too long.. i think i need a sponsorship (see sponsorship forum.. haha).. but whats the chances of that

u know what the trick is to using those waxes that come with like the crayon thing to fill in the scratches... u need a blow dryer....heat up the scratch area till its real hot... or you can do what my cousin does and uses his mini torch..that dumbass..then rub the crayon into the hole/scratches till its filled then let it cool..then wax as normal.. most scrathces it hides it but bigger ones it will hide it a decent amount but you can still see it if your looking for it.... you know what.. i just got my turbo today and im loving it... running 10psi believe it or not.. was able to get 12psi out of it but i reduced it back down to 5 for now.. the guy at the shop said the 01+ civics stock engine can handle a lot before you gotta do the internals.. in a way i beleive him cause he drives an 02 with his pushing 12psi and his motor is still going
