Car help please!

[miley_take]

Hi everyone!

Im looking for some advice on cars - particularly exteriors. My boyfriend just got a new car, which has light scratches and marks from where the previous owner has tried to machine polish/buff the paint. It also has many a little ding or scratch in the paint work. I'm hoping to surprise him by using elbow grease and whatever else to do it for him but I don't know what to do, where to start or what to use. I'm hoping you guys can help me as I know there are many a car proud people among us.

Help!
Emily

Go to supercheap and get a colour matched wax and chapstick and take your time on them (chapstick over the deeper grooves and scratches then handwax). According to my bf...

There is a few companies that can actually cut and buff glass ! Depending how deep the scratches are will be a factor though
