Quick fix: Hand polish with a compound and polishing sponge (the round yellow types). Want it quick? Grab Meguiar's Ultimate Compound from the stores. Personally, I use Sensha Scratch Cut, more cost effective (PM me if you'd like to know more). The key is to rub it in with quite a bit of elbow grease and remove by wiping with a clean microfiber cloth. The scratches should minimize or disappear if they were shallow. If it's still there, repeat - hand polishing is very safe.

Remember that after you compound your surface is unprotected (or naked), so follow up with some wax or coating. All the best!

The scratches are as in the pic, not very deep.. Do you think it can be solved?

Hi all, I just got my new car few weeks ago, plan to put a layer of protection on my City Modern Steel. Any recommendation besides coating which is more cost effective? Coating which go up to few k really out of my budget. Thanks.

Hehe.. then I also found out there are some light scratches and swirl marks should I polish it first or just leave it since it is not very obvious..

How about water beading of the wax? Is it good? There are users said the water beading of this wax is not good..

I don't really like turtle super hard shell paste wax.  The kit wax which the user above you are using works better than turtle hard shell. Too much effort (hard to buff off) with very little durability on water beading.

Thinking to get kit metallic coat paste wax or turtle wax since both also sharing the same price tag and can get easily from Aeon..

Anyone here tried to use autosol metal polish to polish car scratches before? Found it in YouTube, wondering whether will it cause any damage to the car paint and the effect on clear coating..
