I know I posted this before but I have alot of some scratches and was wondering if theres an easy way to permantly remove or cover up the small ones that don't need touch up paint. I have alot of them but I know they can be removed. I would help the car alot.

the small ones... use wax. lots and lots of wax, will cover up for a couple months. I have a pretty hardcore scratch on my fender and you dont notice because of wax.

there are scratch removers out there. If you're talking swirl marks, 3M has a great product, Swirl mark remover for dark vehicles. If you're talking deeper scrathes, get a rubbing compound. Check you there website.

I have Meguiars wax and clear coat. Would this work well?

Wax will only take out very minor stuff.
What kind of sctaches are we talking here?

Some you can see some white in the scratch but most just look like it was bump with something rough. Or like something slide across it. SOME ARE REALLY BAD!!! But I'll use touch up on them.

The ones that look like it was bumped with something rough: A good wax, but a swirl remover will work wonders

Some white showing: rubbing compound

Really bad: touch up or repaint.

How about a new GA? Scratches/Dent in the hood/Spray painting the interior/Cutting springs/etc. anything else we're not aware of? :) oh well. wax/rubbing compound and such.

Rubbing Compound does wonders. Look what it did for my handle on the drivers side.
