Default Car Wash= Scratched Hood

I guess my wife scratched her car with the wash mitt when she washed it...pretty bad. There was a thread on "that other site" I believe it was by hatrickstu. He found some product that seemed to work well but I cant find that thread again. I believe the title was, "for those who care" or "to whoever it matters" or something alon these lines. Did anybody else see that thread or know what product he used?

I think that pink stuff works too. The name of it has "pink" in there. Sorry.

i would use some scratch x from maguayers(sp*) but you should be able to buff off small scratches..

megs cleaner wax works the best for me.As long as the scratches are in the clear and not down to the paint cleaner wax will work

idk how to buff... and i think the reason it got scruffed is cuz there was alot of dust behind the emblem, i think it just acted like sandpaper :/
