Linear scratches in roof: touch-up or respray?
After taking my car through an automatic car wash (I know, I know), I noticed some linear scratches on the roof of my CR-V. Each scratch is about an inch long at the most and the entire area is about six inches wide.
I took pictures of the four sides of my car beforehand, but I didn't think to take one of the roof. The carwash showed me the footage from their entrance cameras. While it wasn't the clearest image, it definitely looked like the marks could have already been there when I arrived.
The scratches are very shallow (I can barely feel them when running my finger over them). Given the fact that these scratches are on the roof, would this be a good candidate to have touched up? If so, what's the ballpark range for this kind of repair?
