Default Rubbing Compound?

Seems as if I have suffered from parking lot "sliders" who have to rub alongside my Andorra Red 2.8 as they squeeze through to their cars. I wish the slots weren't so narrow, but what can you do in SoCal?
And then there's the a**hole who put his foot on my back bumber to tie his shoe or something. If I had seen him do it........
Any suggestions as to how to "rub out" the rub marks?

Default Without going to a reputable detailer you may want to try a polishing compund that is clear coat

safe or a product that has gotten very good reviews here is Zaino Brothers Z5. i have yet to use it but the website is zainobros.com. I just had some scratches removed from my car by a detailer. They were in a few areas and I didn't have the patience to do it myself. Good luck.

Default No compound!!!!

Use the mildest product available, see if it works. If not, use it again. Then move up the abrasive scale.

www.carcareonline.com is the Bible, check it out.

Default I had some luck with similar scratches...

Zaino Z5 when used as directed worked great on a 4 inch scratch on my right front fender. I would then recommend the Z2 treatment. As long as the scratches aren't too deep, I think you'll be pleased with the results. In fact I KNOW you will!
