How do u get rid of surface (clearcoat) scratches?
I was getting into a spot in this parking lot. it was the last spot and was next to bushes... what I didnt realize/see is that there were a bunch of twigs/branches sticking out and it scratched the hell out of my passenger side rear quarter panel (i think thats what its called) .. anyways.. most of the scratches arent that deep .. look like clearcoat scratches... what can i do to get rid of them .. i know certain waxes and stuff will cover it up ... but is there a way to FIX it?
thanks

Personal opinion. Zaino Z5. If they are not too deep, 3M makes a fine cut polish. I think that's what it's called. Anyway it's their least abrasive poilish.

I just bought the 3M Perfect-It II rubbing compound .. it doesnt seem to be very harsh at all .. i tried it on a small area where there are scratches and it seems to have taken the scratches off completely (the scratches were very light here) .. I will wait till tommorow so i can go to a car wash and then apply this stuff.. i'll post results.
