Polish and wax

Well I just bought a 04 Subaru WRX that has some minor scratches on the trunk... Well i dont have a buffer or anything.. So i was wondering if there was any product that works good by hand for buffing out scratches. The scratches arn't deep just surface scuffs and what not..

Re: Polish and wax

Subaru paint is soft! Most mild polishes should help out if the scratches arent real deep. With that said, Scratchx would be ok for spot work, but imo, theres better stuff out there if you wanted to do the whole car.

Re: Polish and wax

Not looking to do the whole car just a minor scratch here and there.. Yeah Subaru paint is junk. The car is pretty much mint sept for a couple scratches and a little paint coming off the front bumper.
