Car wash
I drove through a automatic car wash last month and now, all over my paint i see these long circular scratch marks all over my hood, roof, and trunk. i dont have money to get a new paint job so does anyone know an easy or cheap way to get rid of the scratch marks?
thanks a bunch.

Welcome to the world of swirls...
Don't go to those anymore.
You can become very anal and pay a lot of money to get the car professionally detailed and have the paint corrected.
OR, you can go with a product like Zaino, which hides imperfections.
Good luck! It happens to us all, to have gone from not noticing it to noticiing it that car wash brush must have been DIRTY! On the plus side, you DON'T need a paintjob. It's fixable.

Some products hide imperfections with fillers. Other products polish the imperfections out. Zaino has a full product line, including polishes. Turtle Wax products are generally frowned upon by detailing purists, but if money is an issue, you could try it. Looks like it includes applicators, so everything you would need. Better start working on your arm strength to rub those swirls out.
Use a real lambs wool mit or microfiber mit to hand wash, or at least a touchless automatic car wash.

see the Wash and Wax forum for help on removing the badness
It will buff out with a few compounds and some polish
