use the scratch x from mequiers then buff it out with a buffer, hand buffing will look ok but with a motorized buffer the paint will even out more

I had the same problem with haze and small scratchs. I went to walmart and bought Scratch out (bright yellow bottle) works like a charm. Mind you it was about 40-50 degrees out so i ut some on buff it then used a hair drier for 30 secs buffed again let it sit for 30 secs buff it again and wipe off. Did that for about 4-6 times and its all gone

scratch x or color x ........... both work fine ............. BUT remember it WILL NOT be instantanous on all of the scraches. some will take longer and it will take a good little while to do them. on the deeper ones (depending on how deep) you will need to wait a little while inbetween to let it settle beofre adding more. then after you have make it so its either gone OR when you are fine with it, then you need to go back after it has settled and wax wax wax Black paint is the worst b/c it shows the scraches the most. just take your time and please wash the car VERY well before you try to remove scrachs or else you will be hateing yourself later........ trust me

next time visit a good body shop, paint and body store or even a good parts store and pick yourself up a plastic emblem knife for like $4... these work great for taking emblems off without scratching the paint. Also, you going to need a prep cleaner to take the sticky goo off that is still stuck to your paint. I had to use it to peel off the dealership tag!
