I was looking at my car the other day and I noticed that there are light scratches in my paint and swirls around the paint any Idea how to take them off?

read detailing 101.

you need a machine polisher, pads and other stuff, and some agressive-med-fine polishes to eventually get them all out.


if you are superman, you can do it by hand.

if you're too lazy; you can cover them up temporarily with one of those "hide scratch/swirls" waxes/sealants. Eventually scratches will reappear as wax/sealant wears off.

Elbow grease, decent wax, microfiber towel and a willingness to be meticulous with your car. No problem, right?

Have fun. I'm sure you'll apreciate your efforts.

Also don't take your car thru car warshes brushless or not. Those will scratch the heck out of your paint.

just use the meguiar's 3 step, thats should suffice. and a PC with the right pads.
