Sincerest Empathy,
I do not know about W.A. but I know what it is like to look at my car with heaps of scratches, My car looked like a big dog jumped all over every panel for an extended period and also had some sun damage to the clear coat on the plastic front and rear bars. Needs a respray but I can only afford touch up paint ($40 paint and lots of fine brushes) for the time being and that is what I did. It was amazing what a difference it made to the whole look from 2 meters away. I can now see the whole car not just the blemishes.
Whilst I previously recognized that the scratches were offensive I never thought that just touching them up could make such a difference.
Try it until you can get the job done professionally.
cheers

Insurance Rajiv? This type of damage should be covered.

Mine got keyed in Mona Vale :-(

Unfortunately it wasn't insured at the time...

I felt like bashing every person I came across that 'looked' like someone that would do such a thing...

Why do people do this? I really want to know...I can't think why you would see a car, and get the urge to damage it? I mean...A Soarer doesn't stand out that much... I wouldn't be surprised if it was a Ferrari or something... but comon.

Perhaps... but I don't exactly see someone driving a Soarer and think, Oh my god how did they afford that!I hope that rich bastard gets cancer :-) haha

A few months of solid work and they can get one for themselves!

I really hate the world sometimes...

I think you would find the people that do this sort of thing drive rusted out VK commodores.

That few months of solid "work" (Probably more along the lines of centrelink) would be spent on alcohol.

I agree with you Matt.........
Maybe some have VB commodores though, to match the beers they're drinking in the car park.....

Try Meguires Scratch X first.

If that fails, try T cut, if that fails, speak to Mel. Mel will definately fix it.
