Default MINOR scratch help

Recentlly i took off my rear scion emblem, and i tried to take off that adhesive with a VERY mild dish sponge. but afterwards it left like some dull scratchs, you can see them but not really feel them. is there an easy way to fix it like wax? thanks for your help.

I like Mothers scratch remover works good on small clear coat scratches.

Go to Wal-Mart and spend $7 on Meguiars Scratch-X and a really good microfiber towel.

Clean the surface very well.

I just used Scratch-X for the first time today as I noticed a long scratch on the roof of my xB when I was standing on a chair waxing the roof. Took the scratch right out.

That plastic piece is VERY vulnerable to scratches for some reason. I use Adam's Scratch Remover; one of the best products on the market.

Go through one by one. The clay bar, scratch-x/mother's scratch remover are all good stuff, you might be successful with one and not the other.

But you won't regret buying all of them, you'll use them at some point.

Anyone who washes and waxes their own car should maintain a small supply of good detailing supplies, and minor damage fixes.
