Dear oh dear...

(sorry, couldn't resist the awful pun)..

If there are any superficial scratches, try rubbing it down with some Brasso (no, really - it works wonders). It should remove most scratches on the paintwork and the chrome, providing you don't have metalic paint that is..

I have to ask too....how was the Deer?..
