you may need to apply a little duct tape first, then Zaino, you'll be fine.

The best product to use to fix that would be insurance.

Turtle wax Color Matched Wax and Polish.

It comes with a lip-stick sized cartridge of color matching wax.
You rub the scratch with the tube-wax first, then apply the liquid color-matched
polish over the wax, and Viola!!
You wont be able to tell where that pesky scratch was.


I know. I'm a satisfied user.

I have used that, too. It doesn't completely hide chips and scratches, but it masks them pretty well, for a couple of weeks, maybe 3 weeks.

DAB recommends a Bondo thickness of at least 19", for best results.

And the window doesn't work anymore. Thanks to that one guy for having me fill the inside of the door completely full of bondo.

You need to try the duct tape and cardboard mod. It's low cost, and adds an extra 15 hp, easy.

My friend says it's gonna be a lot of work getting all the bondo out of the door. He says I can use an axe to start and then use sand paper to get the rest. It might take me three or four hours to do all that.

I recommend the application of your credit card at your local You Pull It yard. It is likely you can even color match the door if you shop a couple yards.
