:frown: HELP!!! I washed my car using one of those token operated self serve car washes and after I was done I noticed a million visible scratches!!!
Some deep enough to feel with my fingernail. The car wash "soft" soap brush did a number on my new car!!! Can anyone recommend a good car scratch remover??? The scratches are only on the top coated paint protection so they are all white and visible.

I would not take any of my vehicles to ANY automatic car washes, Touchless or not! Never since my first car have I trusted them. I got my liftback down to a science at the local 'do it yourself wash', $2.00 and that's with the worthless "spotfree rinse", Hell you can stand on one side in the middle and spray it from front to back without moving!:bellyroll:

go to properautocare.com, read up and change all your car care habits. Buy a PC random orbital buffer, and some good Klasse, Menzerna, Poor Boys, 3M etc products and your car will look better than new.

Take it to a professional. Now is not the time to learn how to repair fine scratches.

You need to go through a detail car detailing process to get most of all the fine scratches disapear, The Mequiar's Deep Crystal System, read the post and make sure you watch the 3 viedos on the link, take notes and write stuffs down, the products to get and all the steps you should follow to fix your car's finish, its goona take about 2 hrs if you do it right, get the right stuff, your car will look like it just got out of factory again, i scartched my car too at first with a rough dry towel, then i did research and i took notes, , get the right products, and follow the steps from the videos, finally i bring my car's perfect finish back, good luck. http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?p=50599#post50599
