The saying goes with paint correction, if you cant feel the scratch with you finger nail then it can be corrected (usually), have a look about on paint correction theres loads infomation on tinternet!

Very true, as it would have gone through the clearcoat in most instances, so there is no 'room' for correction :(

Correction is simply cutting back the clearcoat slightly to remove the defects which you can see (scuffs, holograms, swirls etc)
