Default What Wax/Product does everyone use/recommend to buff out scratches?

I'm trying to get rid of a lot of brush marks from going through tress and fine scratches that have happened while driving on dirt roads. I heard of some peopleusing a clay bar?

If I wanna get rid of these what all should I go out and purchase?

Default Polish is what you will need and probably a Porter Cable. Clay adds fine scratches.

but will lift embedded contaminants.

Polish, Menzerna is what I just picked up. Search and all your additional quesitons will be answered, either here or Autopia.org

Default You will be hard pushed to remove even fine scratches or swirls without a polisher...

As Jester says, A Porter Cable/UDM Dual Action polisher is great if you are not comfortable with using a rotary polisher. Whilst slower it is almost fool proof. As for polish and pad selection... start with fine cut of both and work your way up, never the other way round.

Default

I used Scratch-X, it seemed to work pretty good for what I was wanting
