Ive used ScratchX in the past with success. There are many products though that may do the trick. You will probably find some good products in the Detailing forum as well. If you want detail fanatics head over to Autpoia and they will have a TON of recommendations.

I've heard good things about Quixx scratch remover, but effectiveness is highly dependent on how much damage there is.

Talking about scratches, I also just got mine during a superbowl party, I parked it to close to where everyone was walking through and someone scratched the passenger front and rear, hopefully its not that deep, but yea hurts my heart, I baby this car so much and someone comes and scratches it just like that. I will wax it deep and if that doesn't work i will head to buy some scratch remover.

Has anyone noticed pitting problems with the clear top coat on the front end?

I purchased a 09 Max SV Jan 1 of this year. The dealership owners wife had been driving it and put 5800 miles on it. After about a month, I did a hand wax job with Meguires. The front end looks like it has been sand blasted and all the pits are filled with the light colored wax. It looks horrible on the precision grey. I was on my 3rd tank of gas and had not even put 1000 miles on it.

I'm still talking with the dealership now about the problem.

Ouch Jim, do you live somewhere they "sand" the roads in the wintertime? I had this issue ALOT in the wintertime when I lived in Maryland. Of course I get a similar sandblasting when near the beach on a really windy day!!!!

Here in Colorado, there's not a paint job out there that can resist the constant sandblasting during the wintertime. The pitting simply means the clearcoat has been peppered by debris on the road. Good luck with the dealership and let us know what the outcome is!

dkmura, I suspect there IS a paint job that would resist it, but I would seriously doubt you'd want it on your car!!!!
