Default Car wash woes...

Even though the hand car wash I have used this winter seemed quite good, I enter the spring with some swirl, and small scratches.

Is Z-5 the best product to remove these marks?

Any other suggestions?

Default Haven't had a chance yet...

...but I was going to take out some fine scratches, or attempt to, with some 3M Imperial Hand Glaze.

Default braTT, when I received the scratch down the entire right side, I used the Fine Cut first

then my own hand glaze. You can't even see it. 3M now has an on-line store and they are offering free shipping at the moment.<ul><li><a href="http://www21.3m.com/dr/v2/ec_MAIN.Entry10?SP=10023&PN=1&V1=267752&xid=28181& DSP=&CUR=840&CACHE_ID=0">3M</a></li></ul>

Default I was going to try minimal cut first...

They are really really minimal, just a little more than swirls. I have the fine cut as well, so if hand glaze doesn't get them that certainly will. =)

Also read that you can put just the tiniest amount of metal polish in your suspension of hand glaze and use it like Fine Cut. Little more suspicious of that though.

Thanks Den

Default Used the fine cut in the link above and followed with One Grand Omega hand glaze

because that's what I had on hand, but I'm sure any hand glaze would work.
