does anyone know if there's a special store bought buffing wax or something I can apply to the streaked scratches in my paint? They are the light scratches you can only see in the light from like taking it to car washes & such...

Plz help...?????

Thanks in advance! :0)

Then follow up with the wax of your choice. Use 100% Made in USA cotton towels.

or meguiars scratch-x, or a claybar too, no?

Keep in mind that a glaze is just going to fill in the gaps, but because of the high oil content it will dry up fast and be short lived. (thats goes for 85% of all glazes)

A polish on the other hand might be able to completely remove the scratch depending on how you apply the polish (machine) and the size of the scratch.

Hand products like Meguiars Scratch-X, and 3M Rubbing Compound and Fine Scratch remover are good products, they are like liquid sand paper, and to an extent a polish themselves. But if they are too agressive for the surface you can cause more problems than you solve. (Meguiars Scratch-X has never had that problem to my knowledge. It is gentle and violent at the same time)

Claybars only remove contamination on the surface, which may or may not attribute to the scratches.

You should also look at your toweling and how you dry and wash the car. 90% of all scratches come from hand or machine washing or drying the car too violently or when the surface is still dirty.


And finally.... Just what do these scratches look like? If you are talking about circular patterened spider web shapped and small enough that you cannot get a finger nail in them but only visible in high to extream light then I have bad news for you. That is what is known as "spiderwebbing" and it is actually microscopic cracks in the surface of the paint. No solution for it. It all has to do with the quality of the paint, and clearcoat. Showcars with a more expensive paint job do not suffer from this. And it is also one of the reasons that there are so many products out on the market to try and solve this little problem so that people can make their dayly driver look like a show car. In this case you nnly option really is going to be a glaze.
