small scratches all over

Seems the car I got last month has small scratches all over. What products and processes could i use to hide them? Car is black. Is there anything local stores carry that could get me going? What are the steps or has someone written this up from soup to nuts?

thanks

Check out TurboMngt's website (supporting vendor0 - he's a detailing guy, and sells top drawer detailing products. Have you been taking through run-of-the-mill car washes or something? have you watched it get progressively worse?

try zaino products. They are second to none. Having had a black car in the past, scratches are something that you will always have to deal with. Sad but true.

Black is the toughest to keep clean. I use Gary's paint cleaner and sealer. Removes light scratches and swirls, (as long as they are only n the clearcoat. They work great on mine. Of course, if they go down to the metal, there's not much you can do short of a repaint

You can thank the prep boys at your dealership for the swirls. You can forget about going back to the dealership to get it buffed out. All they will do is run some glaze over it. It will look perfect for a week or so. After that the glaze is gone, and you my friend are back with the swirls.

Forget about the autozone products. Invest in a PC, some good pads, and don't forget the swirl remover, polish, and sealant. PM if need any help.
