For shallow scratches, a compound or scratch X recommendation may suffice, but only if it hasn't penetrated deep into the clear or through the base coat.

If the scratch is deep I'd recommend using a Dr. Colorchip kit for a DIY fix. It's low on the car and you'd likely never notice it again. Respraying the area poses risks unless done by a highly skilled professional. If it was my car I'd repair it with the Dr. Colorchip kit and never think about it again.

My RMM C8.

Thanks all for all the suggestions. Scratch X did nothing. As suspected, way too deep of a scratch. Getting first oil change next month. Will talk to the dealer when I get it done.

As a fellow driver of a Red Mist C8, my heart goes out to you. I had a light bulb fall on my trunk the day I brought it home. Not a mark was left. I guess I got lucky.

Wow. You lucked out there.
