scratches

first my car went under a chain link fence. That is at least what i was told happened before i bought it. Anyways it made lots of small scratches on the car some visable some hard to see. and i also have some scratches were the clear coat was taken off. To top it all off somebody thought it didnt have enough scratches and decided to add a couple more small ones with there keys. those scratches took off paint so they are white unlike the rest of the scratches. The car also came with a bra just on the hood. I took it off but it sort of faded and scratched it. I am wondering what products to use to try and hide these marks. I am planning on repainting the whole car but that wont happen for awhile. I have tried a couple products already with no effect. I tried that gs27 crap just to see and the turtle wax stuff with the chipstick and color match liquid. Thanks

if the scratches are as deep as you say they are nothing is going to take them out but a new paint job, if there not deep only suface you could use a high speed buffer and some rubbing compound

some of the scratches i will be able to get out hopefully. what rpm buffer should i get. i went looking and i found a couple different speeds. there was a 2800 and 3800 rpm would the 2800 be fast enough for what i need. i saw the tutrle was rubbing compound for like 2 bucks is that stuff any good. thanks

thanks for the info. i think i will just go with the lower speed plus it has an inch bigger pad. thanks for the help its apreciated.

make sure u use a foam pad not a wool when using the buffer and if it doesnt work look for a detail shop that does wet sanding :) i am a detailer and i knwo how hard scratches can be to remove . wool pad scratch the paint cause swirl marks :) ...good luck

Why not get a orbital buffer. They're the ones that seem to shake while you buff your car. They move like that to prevent you from sitting in one place for too long. Which will not allow you to burn your paint. I think orbital buffers are the best one to buy if you're a beginner.
