Somebody purposely scratched my new car.

Mentos, very sad..

the solution would be to repaint both the doors, i doubt touching up would work infact it might be more evident...unless its done by someone who is very good at it....

Have seen these kind of acts been done by kids...its dangerous to park a clean and shiny car out on the road!

Get a good polish job on the doors. Painting a brand new Dzire is pointless; what will you do if a sadistic chap comes by and scratches it again? A deep polish on the affected parts may remove it by anywhere between 50 - 75% effectiveness.

Get a touchup done and wait for 1 month before you decide whats to be done next!!!

I am sure after a month you will get over it.
