  We scrapped the car

  Doesn't that mean it is now in bits

    I was going for scrape. "rub or cause to rub by accident against a rough or hard surface, causing damage or injury."

  I have used these guys (http://www.autobodymagic.com.au/) in Brookvale, and was happy with the result. YMMV

  I've been doing car detailing as a hobby for over 7 years now and done many people's cars. Depends how severe the scrape is. People have this misconception that deep scratches down to the primer are repairable. They may be less visible after a detail but impossible to eliminate. Link to the damage?

      I've had people ask me if something like this can be fixed after a detail and to be frank, most the time it won't.

      If the wall was white then you might have some of that wall paint on your car which a light cut and standard polish with a DA polisher should fix but It won't be 100%. But if it's scraped the panel down to the primer, then you'll definitely need a respray.

  Pics are needed, otherwise it’ll be a stab in the dark at what needs to be done.
