Unhappy Help - scratch on my door!

Hi

I was checking the air pressures today in the pouring rain & opened my back door & lightly hit some metal stuff on the air machine. There are now 2 scratches just under the rear door handle. One about 1" that's not through to the undercoat but I can feel it with my fingernail. The other is a small chip also not to the undercoat.

I got home & used Swissol mild cleanse on it, I rubbed pretty hard but it didn't do much good. What else can I try? I've not used a raint rubber before - should I try that?

A light rubbing of t-cut will hide them until you wash it. Or scratch-x is quite good.

Try toothpaste... i kid you not!

My father was a car transporter driver... if they delivered any cars with a few scratches or swirls, the toothpaste came out and did the trick!
