Hey guys. I recently washed my car and apaprently the combination I used between the sponge and whatnot left some pretty bad scratches on my car. They go through the clear coat(s), but as far as I can see, they do not go through the base. One other thing, is in some small spots aout 3 sq in, the white appears a brighter white, instead of the pearl. What is the best way to get rid of or minimize the appearance of these scratches? I have already used a polishing compound, waxed with meguiars, and it helped some, but theyre still quite noticeable.
