Hey guys ok heres the problem i got small scratches on my hood-roof- and trunk how it happened my cousin tried to clean my car off with a broom . . none the less i almost killed him but he scratched my car, now the scratches aren't paint deep there just messed up the clear coat i was gonna get it repainted but i may be overpaying for something that dosen't need to be done so any ideas products i could try ect?

A product called Clay-bar is suppose to work very well for that. I usually use polishing compound by Turtle wax, it's a bit of work but cheap. For a professional finish, Maguires has a complete line of multi-step bottles. You should be able to get them at any decent autoparts store, but $$.

thanks i appreciate the info imma try out the turtle wax first and see the results and write back to tell you how it went

Detailing clay is not intended for removing scratches.

I would recommend you use a true polish product like Mothers Scratch Remover. Work lightly in varying directions to smoothen the scratches from every angle possible. It might take a couple of applications, but be patient and work gently. Wax afterwards.

Clay is a great product, but its purpose is removing surface contaminants -- not scratches.

thanks i appreciate it
