My car has been keyed! Question! Ok i saw these lines that i havent seen before, i think someone has been messing with my car mutliple times. Its a white line, not that deep, but enough to where u can feel it. What can i do, do u think it could be buffed?
I read in a detaling book that clear coat scratches will appear white. Most likely, the top coat, (clear coat) has been scratched. I tried to apply that Do-it-Yourself paint kit crap because I had the same white scratch on my fender, it works like crap. I immediately took that **** off. Try Scratch X and buff it out. Oh yea, I used 3M's Wax and Mark remover and it lessened the scratch's color a little bit.

i missed a whole panal after i had layed the wax down last week and then it started to poor rain so i ended up forgetting about the wax i left on there, this week when i went to wash it it looked like someone backed into the whole side of my car and rubbed white paint on it and i was pissed. then i realised it was wax lol... really had nothing to do with this thread i just wanted to get it off my chest....
rubbing compound can most likely take that out, good luck man

Yeah, go with some rubbing compound then a nice wax. If that doesnt work, those can definately be wet sanded out. I did that on my Z's bumber when I picked up a nasty scratch. I came out really great, although you should read up on wet sanding before trying it...
hopefully it will come out easy. I had to wet sand on my black T/A to get some key marks out and that was a bitch. Hopefully the rubbing compound will work out for ya. Let us know how it goes

Did you wax after the rubbing compound? You will have to wax it then use a polish to get the result you want. The rubbing compound alone will leave the finish dull. There are many brands who sell the 3 step kit.
