I wouldn't call my 75 a "Hack" Car - However I feel the same - I don't neglect the Exterior but don't Stress over a wee Scratch or two
I was lucky to inherit quite a significant "Scar" on the n/s rear Door upon purchase of my 75 - so any other wee marks/scratches have never really bothered me
that said, I have polished out a few scratches with Good results - and, just this weekend removed a stubborn blemish that appears to have been the result of a Basketball hitting the Car
Starlight Silver is Great for hiding the imperfections tho - from a distance the Paint looks Great
Paint is for the purpose of protecting the Metal - in this regard I do have a couple of wee areas that require some attention
