X3 - Can only judge by your Pic's, but the damage doesn't look that deep. I too would go with a mild polish-compound and take your time and go easy.(that's what she said) Good luck and if it helps think it could have been worse.

what do you care asshole!?-give the kid a break and remember what it felt like driving something cool--he said he saves up to mod himself-whether he had help buying it or not is irrelevant--his question was how to remedy the situation if possible-KEEP YOUR IGNORANT STATEMENTS TO YOURSELF AND--STAY ON TOPIC!--x's2 on the finger nail trick-I've learned alot from my bodyshop friends.-anything else can be made to "blend-in" or completely disappear--good luck to you!

that right there is a bunch of shit. i worked my ass off to buy my JK while i was still in high school. i hate how people think just because a kid has something nice that mommy and daddy bought it for them. yeah sometimes thats the case, but there are those out there that actually have work ethic and work hard for what they want.

Sorry to hear this man. I came out to go to work a couple weeks ago and someone had keyed my new F-150, that I bought when I graduated college in December, from the front driver's side fender to the tail lights. There isn't a word to describe how angry I was that someone decided to key the newest vehicle in the apartment complex parking lot, especially considering I don't bother anyone because english is no one else's first language. Most can't speak english at all so I just nod and walk by. Hopefully you can get it fixed without a body shop, mine sadly cannot.

Anyway X10 on the fingernail trick. Since it looks to me like its on your doors there is less of an inconvenience for repairing it. Also not sure if your HS still has an auto shop but if it does chat with the teach and see if they'll let you paint it there. It makes a good class for the advanced guys and might even get you some extra credit.

First off let me say that it sucks that your jeep was keyed...Defacing someones personal property is pretty low...
but.....someone took the time to not just key your jeep but scratch out ASS and underline it..sounds to me like you pissed someone off, unintentionaly or not. I'm by no means saying it was deserved....Just seems it was a little more of a personal thing then an "im jealous because you have a nicer vehicle than me" thing.
Good luck on gettin it fixed, I hope it cleans up easy and looks better than new. Scratches on a Jeep should only come from nature
x2 on the leave the doors off the rest of the year idea

Thanx to all the comments and tips School is over as of tomorrow for me. I was really impressed with everyone's concern, it's a jeep thing you know, and regarding the dude who had the comment of me owning a cheaper ride or something like that.... i feel sorry for you since you have no love for jeeps... It is not about the price of the jeep but the love and how much enjoy it that makes it so valuable to me. The reply of boning the sister, gf and mom was the best Thanks mates. Cheers

Get insurance to look at may need to get your JK re-painted....will look better than trying to touch up the scratches. You maybe lucky and it's just through the clear coat...then you can cut polish the scratches out!

For real, that sucks... I totally believe in karma and I know that guy is going to get his. It took me years to figure out that I did not always have to tear off in anger and make sure that a-holes got theres... Sounds like you have a good cool head. You have a nice Jeep, use your insurance to fix it... thats why its there.
Let us know how it turns out.
