    Am unhappy with myself -- picking up the mail and turning into my driveway I turned too sharply, and scratched the door in multiple spots against a brick corner. Not a vehicle design error, pure user error.

    What is the best patch for surface scratches? It seems to be in the surface polymer rather than impacting the door.

    I'd have tried to blame the car design, at least for a few hot minutes. :mad:

    Toyota touch-up paint, unless it's just the clear-coat, in which case some good paste wax should do it.
