I just washed my car today and I used Zip Wax Car soap and a hand mitten and I had a vroom final touch drying cloth and Now I have SCRATCHES IN SOME PLACES! one is right around my front wheel well I have reason to believe the Final touch cloth is to blame is there anyway to get rid of these scratches? Please help

 

how do you use the mitten? do you rinse it out with clean water regularly as you wash. If not, you could have trapped a small rock or debris in the mit and then dragged it across the paint. Another possibility could be that the cloth picked up something and did the same.

You could try something like Mothers scratch remover. how deep are the scratches and do you have pictures?

 

get some 3m rubbing compound and a clean microfiber towel. do not rub the compound in a circular motion! apply it in the direction of the panel. remove it with a different towel, and repeat if necessary. the directions are on the bottle. be sure to read them.

 

come to think of it i did accidently step on the drying cloth and left a little black spots i dont think that would cause the scratches entirely...

and i dont have a pic but they look kinda like this there little and everywhere round the wheel well

 

I did the same thing, except it was on my door.

 

Here i fixed your pic.


Srsly?? you stepped on it and your blaming the cloth?

 

if the scratches went through the clear, then you need paint. go get an estimate.

 

If the scratches are that deep, Then how the hell did you not notice before you tore up that big of an area??

 

really paint ahh here let me try and get pic tomorrow cant dfind the stupid camera and its dark outside i really dont know what caused it... i really dont

 

if you can't see it when you don't have your face right up to your car or when it's dirty i think its okay... it's a car it's gunna get scratches.. =P try washing the area again with just water to make sure there wasn't any dry soap in there. and use some baby scratch remover.

 

A good wax job will get most of them out. (or at least until it wears off)

 

the sticky at the top of this forum.... use it on those areas...

 

you dropped it AND stepped on it... and then continued to use it?? damn.
