i have a black '98 ES300 and ive got a TON of scratches on it, these scratches arent very deep tho.....ive heard of those creams or somethin that take out scratches on cars....seen em on tv and whatever....just wanted to know if anyone else has heard of em or used em ever.....if not a cream, what else could i use on my car to get em out cuz takin it to an auto repair place would just be pretty ridiculous cuz of the number of scratches on the car...thanx

 

try Polish first, maybe some mothers or Zaino. If Polish doesn't work buy some Rubbing Compound that is clearcoat safe. Be careful with it though, Use as minimal as possible if your going the rubbing compound route.

I use dri-wash right over dirt and works like nothing I have seen. I have used this since 1994 and works great. Using it one my last truck which was showroom cond, GSX-R1100w, my ES. I detail cars on the side when time permits. I have to many people asking but to little time.

#1 In case of scrathes you could due either one. Get a buffer and try to take them out. This works if not to deep and down to base coat/primer. Be carfeull not to buff of the paint. This is one problem using waxes. My stuff does not burn. Try to stay around 1800 rpm's.

#2 You could also try getting a damn cloth and rub using [b] light [/]b hand pressure with light rubbing compound.

#3 wet sand but I would not suggest this

 

It is common on black cars. It is called cobwebbing. There are several companies that have special waxes used just for this purpose but, the down-side is that, it will take off a portion of your paint and/or claearcoat. I have never tried this stuff but, it is only a suggestion. All the big names wax companies have it like, Meguiars, Mothers, etc.

 

I've used 3M's Imperial Hand Glaze on my black GS with great results for small scratches.
