July 4th resulted me a 3ft scratch on my car : ( HELP!!!!

Yeah well I was at the Grapevine Lake today in Dallas looking for some friends, which I never found... Meanwhile the parking lots are little 2 lane roads... This one guy was coming on the other lane and didnt give me enough room in my lane, so I had to squeeze to the side... Next thing I know a big @$$ branch sqeeeeeeeeeeks the passenger side of my car from the fenderwell to the rear door (4dr car)... Its not deep... I used some scratch remover and its barely noticable.. I just wonder if it'll come back to haunt me... I just washed my car before I went too : ( Any solutions guys? I was just now about to buy a decal to put over the scratch, but I'll wait and see for that one..

uhh i would say about 40 bucks for complete detail maybe depending if your car is lowered or not, since my car is lowered it costs extra cause they have to hand wash everything on the car, it doesnt go through the actual tunnel of the car wash. just check around man and sorry to hear about that situation.

some rubbing compound should definitely take care of that, would just need to 1)find a body shop that has some and 2)wax the area after you use the compound.

it works very well on bug carcasses that have hit the front of the car and get kind of embedded into the paint.
