How bad are the scratches? You could get decent results with 3M Perfect-It Swirl Mark Remover or Meguiar's Scratch-X by hand; however, they're not that abrasive. A more abrasive solution would be to use Meguiar's #83 Dual Action Cleaner/Polish which, when used with an orbital polisher would actually remove the scratch, not just deprive light from it. Of course, it depends on how bad the scratch is (i.e. is it down to the primer?).

and i figure that i may need to buy a bottle of scratch remover thing
cuz it's more a long term use

 

[Ernieb]

maybe you guys can check local store
for me and let me which one is good

Don't get that junk you see on TV... get a buffing compound and use some elbow grease. Those quick fixes are junk... if you want it done right, do it the way it's been done for over 100 years.

Another vote for Meguiars ScratchX... good stuff. I got hit and run from behind (friggin dork kinda spun me and took off) on my rear driver side corner which was thankfully urethane so no dents, but big fat marks and scratches from their bumper.

After an hour of good hand buffing with ScratchX, clay, & wax... looks quite decent.

Is the turtle wax thing good..that one that is call scratch remover for $10 something CDN
or the $ 3 dollars something compound thing.....
i dunno the difference
which one has a better result

 

[Jeff7181]

Get a buffing compound... if you're gonna do it by hand, get one that's made to be used by hand... if you're gonna use a powered buffing wheel, get a compound designed for that. There's a difference in the compounds... if you use the stuff meant to be applied with your hand with a buffing wheel, you're gonna eat through the paint in no time.
After you buff it, use a glaze, then a non abrasive wax like that Mothers stuff that they say is for touching up between waxing. (TurtleWax is slightly abrasive and has cleaning agents in it to remove dead pigment from the paint)
