What is the best product that can be used to remove Automotive clear coat scratches?

My car is only a few months old and already I can see thousands of micro scratches in the clear coat in the sun when I wash my car. I'm not concerned with these but there are a couple spots where the scratches are more visible. I'd like to get rid of these if possible. They are not deep at all. My car is dark blue.What is the best product that can be used to remove Automotive clear coat scratches?
I would try your regular wax first with a good orbital buffer and see if it will do the trick for you and if it doesn't I would recommend going to a body shop and asking them what they use and I'm sure it will be something from 3M.What is the best product that can be used to remove Automotive clear coat scratches?
You have to be careful with your car while washing it. Get a good cleaning pad and use a shammy when drying. What you use will determine what it looks like.
There are a few products on the market that will work for you. One is made by DuPont it is a polishing compound. You can either apply it with a clean damp rag and rub the scratch out or you can use a buffer, if you are proficient with one and that will not hurt the clear coat. make sure you apply polish immediately after to prevent dulling. Another thing I found works well is tooth paste, crest, Colgate or any other that is in the original formula state, flavors don鈥檛 matter but consistency does. This can be done by hand using a soft damp cloth and rubbing in figure 8 motion, then rinse and check for progress. Once you are satisfied with the results, polish the area with a good wax. Hope this helps, it has me鈥︹€︹€︹€?.p.s. the tube of tooth paste is way cheaper than the can of polishing compound=)
