Hey guys quick question. I have a black dovpo riva dna 250c and I just noticed in the car it has a few really really light scratches. Like there so light I didn't even notice em in the house. It wasn't until I took it outside today I seen them. It's not all the way through the paint cuz the scratches are still black so it's not all the way through is there any thing I could use to get rid of these scratches or even make them less noticeable. Cuz now I've seen them I can't not see them lol

Here are the scratches in question

The metal body of your Dovpo Riva is zinc alloy.

I would try using use the same technique that's used for auto finishes.

1) obtain a couple high-quality microfiber 200 gsm - 400 gsm towels
2) properly clean your mod (as outlined below) using circular motions
3) check to see if the scratches are gone
4) repeat the cleaning as needed

Most microfiber wash mitts and towels today are soft enough to provide scratch-free washing and drying performance, but it’s still a good idea to doublecheck the weight of the material, just to be sure. Microfiber towels should be at least 200 grams per square meter (gsm,) with the best-quality, professional grade towels weighing in around 400 gsm.

Selecting the right car wash soap is also critical to helping you avoid scratches while cleaning your car. Avoid dish liquids altogether. Instead, choose a high-performance car wash soap with plenty of lubricating agents and foaming action. The foam will help surround any loose soil particles, forming a protective barrier between the dirt and your paint, and the lubricating agents will help you wipe and rinse away that dirt with minimal scratching.

FWIW, folks use microfiber cloths on the clear coat on automobiles to remove surface scratches. Microfiber towels do not remove any of the clear coat or paint.

Good luck!!!

Alright awesome! Mate that's what I was looking into, I was also trying to find some kind of car paint restorer or something along those lines that get small scratches out of cars. I looked but I don't know what would be safe to use. I'm afraid I'll get something that's a little to strong and it will eat away my paint or something! Lol
