Default Light Scratches

Hello all,

I am about 500 miles into my TCH. I have noticed that light scratches easily make their way onto my car.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I can use to get out surface scrathces without dulling the new paint.

Thanks

By all means avoid car washes with any kind of brushes or moving cloth strips as these systems will cause tons of surface scratches. There is a car care wax system that uses a very soft clay compound to clean the surface and get rid of any scratches that you may have incurred. But the name eludes me at the moment. Maybe another member can help....

I use Meguiar's NXT generation tech wax. It is engineered to eliminate fine scratches. Their words not mine. But it does seem to work quite well. In fact I've even used it to fix rented dvds that were scratched and won't play. It's about $12 a bottle at Pep Boys. It also gives you a really rich looking shine.
