scratches!!!
So today I get the notion to take the chevy badge off the rear. I took the gm ones on the side so i figure no problem. I read in a thread that someone used a credit card. well....BAD Idea I got a bunch of little scratches all around where I used the fricking credit card. can anyone suggest what to buy at auto zone that should get rid of these scratches, they are faint and not deep, but I CAN SEE THEM!!!! Drives me nuts!!!!!

i actually put some polishing compound on some scratches on my rear bumper and buffed them by hand and they didnt come off. i'm gonna try my cheap-o buffer from auto zone next time.

ok...you read my how-to and i feel obligated to help you...
you are gonna need to polish and then wax it...
cleaner wax will not fix your problem...
try a polish designed for hand use and then if that doesnt work you are probably going to need to use a high-speed buffer

ddamm the fishing line idea sounds like it would have been better!!! I used a credilt card (pep boys) and it just left little scrates everywhere i used the card. damm car is black so EVERYTHING SHOWS!!! But i love black soo i gotta deal with it. When its clean its soooooo nice, Yeah everytime i wash it, boom another scratch!! You know those spray waxes, I think they are bad personally, I mean it takes out the spots and stuff but I think they creat swirls??!!!??
