Default Hit And Run!!!!

some ******* scraped the side of me car today while i was getting an appointment at a tint shop i swear it was 10 min i was in there and this **** happens. But anyway its not really bad it was just a lot of paint dust from his car mine only has 2 little scratches and one big one just wondering how i could fix it without taking it to get it fixed. Would a clay bar and wax be able to take out some minor scratches?

That depends on how deep the paint/clearcoat was gouged. If you've lost paint then a clay bar and wax won't do it. What a crappy thing to have happen to you. It's times like this that make me wanna' park everything and take the bus...

I'd find a place nearby that might have some cameras. You know the exact time it happened. If they can see your car next to another across the street, then all you need is plates.
