I was looking at my car in the light today and noticed them on my spoiler and hood. I use a California duster when there is a very light coating of dust on my car. I use eagle one wet and shine to detail it. Is there a certain rag that doesnt scratch?
Also would a good wax job take out these scratches? I have always used Mothers. Is there a wax that is designed to get little scratches in the clear coat out? Should I stop using the duster? Thanks for any input you guys have.

Its not the rag that will scratch, It is the dirt between the rag and the paint that scratches.

 

I guess I should stop using the duster then...

I have used a duster for more than 15 years, never had a problem. You did not tell us what kind of towels you are currently using, but many towels that contain polyester will scratch and if you wash your towels with powder detetgent they will for sure scratch, also if you use your body towels on the wheels they will pick up brake dust that will scratch the paint.

The best towel you can get that will never scratch your car is Fieldcrest Charisma (all I use)

Also, many, many people scratch their car with improper washing, you need to use something made of cotton to wash clear coat, no polyester wash mits (the yellow kind)

The scratches are definately in the clear coat. Can you recommend a wax (probably Zaino) to get them out?

3M Swirl Mark Remover part number 39009 to remove the scratches, Zaino Z-5 to hide them.
