Whats do I use to buff out scuffs and scrapes? I have a couple scrapes and scuffs on the car. One scrape is deep down to the black so im gonna touch it up a little. I have some smaller scrapes and scuffs that look like will at least half way buff out. What do I use for this?

ZPC by zaino! apply by hand and a little elbow grease and seriously the scuffs or scratches will disappear before your eyes! can only be ordered through their website

Start with a regular wash with a good car soap; like meguiars or anything else. Claybar it, use a buffer or Porter Cable, start by polishing, then finish with a wax to protect the correcting. Done. As far as waxes and polishes, for off the shelf kind of stuff, I use Meguiars Ultimate Compound, and Tech 2.0 Wax. Works pretty good.

Its amazing at how much wrong information is given. Depending on depth of scratch yo may need to go in a wet sand it with 1500-2000 grit sand paper. If you dont think it is that bad then use 3m med rubbing compound then step up to 3m fine rubbing compound then use polish/wax. I prefer wizards but lots out there.
Zaino is great for very light surface scratches in the clear. Claybar is good for overspray or removing impurities that are raised on the paint, but not really desinged for blemishes in the paint. Meguires is fine stuff but there is much better

Freefallin.1 is right but beware!!!!! If you start water sanding on factory clear you can rub thru in a heartbeat!!!! It's super thin so be careful and take your time. If you can feel the scratches with your fngernail then I hate to tell you but they aren't gonna come out. Scuffs will come out but if it's into the clear too deep then theres no chance and your just wasting your time
