A friend of mine just picked up a '95 Olds Aurora for $2400 bucks. 160k on body, engine and tranny have been replaced at about 89k. Beautiful car, loaded. Sunroof, heated seats, tint, u know the ropes. No rust, but it'* got LOTS of light surface scratches on the roof and trunk from having grocery bags set on then dragged across. Why is it always women-owned cars that i see this on? Anyways any good products that remove these by hand or is an orbital buffer really the only way? Thanks!

meguiars scratch X is pretty good.

a clay bar, 2 coats of that and another coat or two of a good polish will make that think shine!

1993 SLE recently tried the scratch X and loved it.

After the Scratch-X, use Liquid Glass, not Mequiars wax. It lasts much longer (3x), and is a polymer clear-coat replacement.

I use the Einszett line of polishes and Zaino as my finish protector. Hard to beat the outcome and the polish line can take a really bad finish and make it respectable.

So a wash, a good claybar, and scratch x (which i've used and loved) then a good polish once or twice should bring her back. Great! It wouldn't be so bad but it'* a deep cranberry color so it shows pretty much everything.

Those dark reds are the WORST color to keep good, IMO. Here in Fla., the sun eats them up!

Really? :( I guess I'd better make sure to keep up the paint maintenace!

My dark red is starting to show some wear, Zaino will come into play here soon.
Liquid glass is by far the longest lasting polish, without a doubt. I use it every six months.

I've owned two burgandycars in Fla. and they require a lot of extra care if you can't garage them. Dark metallic silver is another one.
