Hi guys. I had the unfortunate experience of asking an elderly man for directions on street and their dog jumped on my door and left some pretty annoying scratches with its pawl. I knew without even existing the car that it would of left it scratched. Now my car is a cosmos black and I tried several products including t-cut which left some awful swirl marks and then I used the meguiars ultimate compound to polish them out and to a certain extent the scratches are hidden but only if looking down or directly. Now my question is has anyone used the genuine Mercedes paint touch up sticks to cover damage on their vehicle or should I look at an alternative that will fill the scratches in black to match the rest of my car ? I know for a fact that the Mercedes touch up sticks match my exact paint colour but really unsure. Not a necessity but wanted sorting as soon as. Thanks guys

Some pictures. You can see it faintly. But in real life they're little worse lol.

Am I obsessing too much ? Any of you out there have marks on yours?

Is that similar to the maguiars compound that you suggested as an alternative? I already used that maybe I should give it another go. Because it's black it shows when it's sunny and its annoying me. So are you saying I shouldn't use the paint sticks from Mercedes ? They're only ÂŁ12 I think last time I checked.

Thanks for the reply guys. I'm going to give the Meguiars another go when I clean it again hopefully it'll make it even more less noticeable although I may need to look into some sort of polish with black paint in it of some sort ? Any suggestions ?

In terms of getting a mobile scratch repair out to me won't cost that much but still probably pointless when it's hardly anything huge.
