Scratch Removal OK, I did a search, but got a lot of confusing info... Is there any products that will remove light scratches and surface swirls? I think my buddy's dog may have scratched up my car while she was in the garage. I also have some swirls from way back. These aren't real deep, but since there are quite a few, it looks ugly. The car is painted black if that helps. Thanks! Ben
Try doing a search on Menzerna and the Porter Cable buffers. That will get you going. I am sure the swirls can be done with an orbital buffer, but the scratches depend on how deep they are. Those may come out with a regular buffer, but usually takes someone that knows what they are doing so you don't make a bad situation worse.

The Porter Cable Polisher is the best tool you'll buy for your car - it's worth the cost the 1st time you use it - and you'll use it over & over...
I use Menzerna Intensive Polish, then Final Polish, then Formula 113 Wax with the Porter Cable on my Black T/A - not a swirl/scratch to be found
