Default Hairline Scratch - Denim Paint
I did a search, but didn't see anything obvious. I have a small hairline scratch on my back fender. Looking for hints to remove or at least minimize it.

My understanding is that's why they call it denim. It "gains character with age". No clear coat so it will be hard to use a product to get it out.

If it's black you can use back to black and that might try to hide it a bit.

FWIW, I had a small hairline scratch on the front fender...I used a clean microfiber towel with a small amount of water and within a few days, the scratch rubbed out.

Sounds like the best option so far ... it's real light, so I'll try that. Thanks.
