| How to remove fine scratches?
When I purchased my car, it was very dirty and my Aunt trying to be funny wrote "clean me" on the trunk with her finger. After washing the car, there are very fine scratches that only show up in sunshine.
Any tips on products/methods/techniques for removal?
Thanks

If they are very very fine like swirl marks, just get a microfiber cloth and fine polish. Depends on how deep it is though.
Hell where in maple ridge are you, I just bought a bottle.

I find it easier to use a foam applicator pad with the product then wipe off with a microfibre

I use Meguiar's ScratchX 2.0 which is available at any Canadian Tire. It's less than $15 bucks and you use a foam applicator pad to blend it over the scratched area. http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotiv...cratchxreg-20/ | |

Please correct me if I am wrong. Apparently ScratchX® 2.0 can help you to temporary "conceal" the scratch with filler as it will come out again after several washes.
Your best bet would be seeing Ken as he can polish out the scratch permanently

I've read that the more current iterations of ScratchX no longer contains fillers.

if other layers of the paint is showing through there isnt much except paint that can fix it, if its not too deep a real good cut can minimize it but its not going away..

If you can catch your fingernail in the scratch, it'll be too deep to remove with polishing. Got any pics?
