Default Remove crazing and scratch on boot?? :(

Need some advice on how to tidy up my motor.

First off I have a small patch of crazing in the paint on the drivers door and around the fuel filler cap. My Scoob seems to have suffered quite badly with this especially on the front bumper, but I had this repainted to remove it. Is there anything I can do to remove this other than having it repainted?

Also during the "cold snap"... I managed to scratch the bootlid using the bloody ice scraper. After raging for the last 2 weeks about this I have decided to ask how to sort it out?.... Use a touch up stick and flat it down with some Wet and Dry?

Bodywork is not my thing so sorry for the stupid questions!

Crazed paint requires a respray.

u can try to flat with 1200 wet and dry and use a fast cut then a fine cut compound. but be very careful. break through and its respray. but then its worth a try, nothing to lose as it will need repainting if ti doesnt work.

pop to ur local bodyshop and ask, im a panel beater / painter and we get loads of people asking for advice.
