Ive bought a 2004 Mustang GT but some body keyed my passanger front fender and door Ive used these products to try and buff them out and they are still there Gs27scratch remover and Rubbing compound from turtle wax nothing seems to work is there something better to use im trying to fix the car up for shows but the passanger side looks ugly now
can some body give me some tips to make it look better

Take a magnifying glass and really look at the keyed line. If it is broken through the clearcoat ( most keying incidents do) you will need to repaint the affected panels. If it does indeed look like you haven't broken through to your color basecoat or worse yet down past your primer you might be able to make a save. Try and visit a local automotive paint jobber (supplier) and look at 3M's line of compounds. I'm sure they could set you up with some compounds that would be more aggressive than what you are using. The idea is to try and get the rough edges of the scratch to "heel over" or melt down. Again this absolutely will not work if you are through the clearcoat already.

You dont have insurance? Usually vandilism wont raise your rates.

Hope you can get it fixed. A jerk once keyed my wife's Jaguar XJ6 from one end to the other (down to bare metal). I had to do a complete re-paint. That was 15 years ago and I would still like to kick the guy's butt if I found out who did it.
