Default Paint questions ... please help :(

Hello people, hope you are well?

I need some advice ... some ****ers decided to egg my car whilst I was on holiday. I’ve managed to remove the egg but the lacquer/paint is now marked
... I have tried to tcut it out but it doesn’t work at all!! Any ideas?

I have also noticed a small fuel spillage near the petrol cap, it seems to have damaged the paint/lacquer a little, how would I get it out?

Cheers

If the paint is marked it sounds like the best bet would be a machine polisher to get it out and correct the paint. I am no expert on that so cant really offer more help.

Maybe clay & polish may be a good starting point before you pay someone to machine polish it?

Hello chaps

everything came out after a machine polish

the only bit that didnt was the mark near the petrol cap, guy said it definitely wasnt petrol that did the damage, I can just live with it or pay to have the whole panel and petrol cap door sprayed

decisions!!
