Does anyone know how this can be fixed? I don’t want to have it repainted, can they buff it out? Please let me know, I haven’t had this car for even a month yet. Thank you

Can you feel the scratch? In other words, if you were to fun a fingernail across it does your nail sort of get snagged? If so, it's too deep to buff out.

On the other hand, if it's still fairly level with the rest if the paint, it can probably be buffed out with polishing compound. Or even something like ScratchX.

Car is a salvage title now, total loss, sorry my dude.

Take it to a body shop. Quick wet sand and buff to the clear coat should take care of it. Looks to only be in the clear coat.

A good compound , polish and wax coat will fix that. It doesn't look deep enough the worse you can do is get a Dr Colorchip to fix it

Dr chip is still around I had a scratch like that on the car Dr colorchip sealed that up no problem. Honestly tho he can buff that out with a good compound , polish and wax for protection
