Only had my car 5 hours or so and drove to work and came back to find someone has scratched all the sides and near roof just like the image below. Do you think it can be polished out

If its not deep it will. But if it is down to bare metal no it will not.

Hello. I work in this industry and the only thing you could do to make it look nice/new. Is try and polish it and see if the scratch comes off. If not, you would have to sand the door back down to the metal, apply the primer/paint/lacquer again. Could be pretty pricey though. Take it to a garage and see what they say. To be honest the scratch isn't that noticeable.

It depends on how deep it is. If you have the money I would recommend getting a new paint job.

Edit: You could just leave it on there, its not like it effects your driving.

That's pretty noticeable, sorry to point that out, felt like I had to since the guy above said it wasn't.

I'd tell the place you parked to check the cameras, I'd be so mad!

You should have called the cops, maybe insurance would have fixed it.
Did you report it or go on about your day?

Claiming on insurance - Yes maybe you get a bit money, car fixed whatever. Then your insurance is a lot more than it was, you lose your years no claims. Not worth it in the long run for a scratched door.

It will probably buff out, get it detailed if it bothers you that much.


Judging by the door I'm guessing its a corsa so a couple scratches is usual on those things. don't stress.
