Default Will cat scratches buff out?

I went into the garage and found the cat locked in there. The cover was on the floor, and there were 2 paws worth of scratches on the trunk side of the rear quarter on the driver's side. The little cat is lucky it came with 9 lives. That was a joke. Anyways, will my paint guy be able to buff them out or whatever?

I can't leave my garage open now. I need to figure out how to keep the cat out of there, or we're going to have problems. I saw her eating a lizard a little while ago, and that urks me too, because they eat mosquitoes and other pesky bugs.

My rule of thumb is that if you can feel them with your fingernail,they wont buff out completely. Sorry to hear that happened,Jake.

I have sort of the same problem cept its kids. They go in the garage for stuff and don't pay attention. My oldest son loved to scratch the shit outta the chevelle with his bicycle handlebars.

I'm hoping this wasn't just last week. I was very fortunate with my daughter when she was growing up,she never did anything to my cars.Of course fear was instilled in her at an early age.

My 2 boys know not to mess around near the Chevelle. When my little one (4 years) saw the scratches, he got upset and said "Daddy's gonna spank the kitty!!"

I was showing my wife what happened yesterday afternoon, and as soon as I opened the garage door, the cat dashed in there like something was chasing her. She hid under the car, I started sliding tools at her trying to flush her out. Finally I got her out from underneath, and she tried to go hide under a shelf. When I reached for her, she snarled and hissed at me, like she was going to bite or something. Well I grabbed her and flung her out of the garage, I think she went a good 10 or 15 feet into the yard.

What it looks like is that she was trying to get on top of the car, and when she jumped onto the trunk, she started sliding off, and tried to dig in with her claws. I'm sick over it. Sick, do you hear me?

I don't know how I am going to keep her out of there.

Anyways, the last time I took the 1357 head off (driver's side) I nicked the corner of the fender and took off a tiny chip of paint, even with 3 layers of uhaul blanket covering it. If something's going to happen, I'll make sure it happens to me. So, I need to take it to my paint guy Keith anyways, so he can take care of that chip for me, I'll have him work on the scratches while he has the car.

I hope he can get them out for you, cat claws are like razors. Need to find something the cat doesn't like to put in the garage. Don't know what that is but there must be something.

Dogs. mine like to hang out in there,but they don't bother anything. The only problem I had was one of them would unscrew my valve stem caps and take them.
