black Max, trying to cover scrathes

I was just wondering, what would be the best wax/polish to cover up scratches on my car. As you can see, my door needs to be taken care of. I have a friend who'll help me do it in a few weeks. Is there something out there that will mask it until I get it painted (a black car wax of some sort or better) ?

No it was not me, I just took the picture

Does work better than those touch up crayon things.
I've also used that black wax before, meh, I guess it works.

Also I cant really tell from the picture how deep they are, but you very well could get that door to go from that to a nice deep smooth finish

This is my door. Pretty bad huh. I am looking for something to cover it faded spot. Has anyone tried "Color Cure" from Turtle Wax?

3m rubing compound is great for little scratches and stuff, But the turlte wax color cure is amazing. It comes with this crayon thing that fills in deep scratches with wax, it works so great. As for that big faded spot the actual wax will help it a lot also. My paint is Emerald, and When I use the green color cure it works wonders. Try it out I think you will like it.
