Best Fine Scratch Remover
I was looking at my car with a shop light a few days ago and I realized that I have a bunch of fine scratches. Not anything deep enough to catch my fingernail. I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice as to good products to use to correct this. I'm guessing Meguiar's?
Thanks

Try the D/A approach first, by hand it is very difficult to get the desired results. If you have access to a D/A I would recommend the following...
1) Meguair's M205
2) Meguiar's W8006 - Polishing pad
Using the D/A at speed setting #6, using a small amount of product you will start with an area 2 x 2 woking the product in until you break it down. Wipe of the polish with a clean MF and check your progress....
If you have accomplished the desired results, you would the do the entire vehicle using the same process. Follow up the polishing with a complete coat of your favorite LSP (Wax or Sealant)....
Hopefully this will work, if you have any further question or need some help.....give me a call or email me!

Well I ordered some poorboys polish with sealant last night. Then my friends this morning said that polish was abrasive and could mess up my car. So Dave, since your the pro what do you think on the polish before the wax. I have never used it before so I'm guessing my clearcoat should be pretty thick. Also, I will be applying it by hand.

Poorboys looks like its a 1 step does all product which may not give you the desired results. I would suggest that you go with a true 2 step method for your correction and you will be totally amazed at the difference.
For removing these surface defects from your vehicle you will have to step up your game...........
Do not be intimidated by a D/A......if you do this by hand you will only be hiding these defects not removing them.
After these defects have been removed by polishing, then you would wax/seal with your product of choice.
Hope this helps you out!

Hey Dave, after spending a whole day with the jag I did get the results that I wanted. The polish worked pretty well, I was very cautious and applied it lightly since I have never used it before. Then I applied a coat of Meguiars NXT 2.0 wax and then a coat of Meguiars Gold Class Caranauba wax. The car is super shiny and most of the clear coat flaws are gone. I will post some pics next time I wash it!
