A neighbour’s bin was blown agains the car in the high winds last night leaving scuff marks, I think the damage is limited to the clear coat finish but obviously want to get it repaired. I am looking for suggestions on the best course of action and recommendations please - based in Essex.
 
First try polishing it with Meguiars Ultimate Compound. It may polish out. If not, there will be no harm done but you will then have to consult a bodywork specialist.
 
I have tried polishing it out without success, I will get some Megulars Utimate Compound to try but think the marks are too deep, they feel like scratches to touch.
 
Rule of thumb if you can feel the mark with your finger nail then it will not polish out, worth a go if you go through the clear coat then its a paint job.
 
I can feel the scuff marks in one area, I am probably 90% resolved I will not be able to polish it out, so part of the question is if a repair is necessary will a smart repair likely to be able to correct it and for recommendations in Essex.

Thanks for both your replies.
 
I am very sceptical about Smart repairs, most are pretty poor, you can always check by monitoring their "works in progress" and make sure you examine the final result before committing.

I would most probably seek out a good local body shop and get the job done properly at the end of the day it all depends what you are looking for.
 
I know you said Essex but depending on where in Essex if you can get to Cambridge I can recommend

I'd totally agree with Myer and would not allow a smart repair on a car of this calibre. Get the job done properly by a local bodyshop who will spray the panel or part panel correctly, not just a thin superficial film of paint and lacquer
