Others know more than me, but I had great luck with Meguiars ScratchX. I think it was $8.00 for a tube, but it works well.

Having not seen them, it's hard to really perscribe a remedy but, jcv's advice is probably dead on correct. Meguiar's Scratch-X is a very good product to remove light surficial scratches and such... Follow the directions as perscribed.

Is this an auto zone product? and can it be used with a buffer?

I got it at Advanced Auto, but I have seen it at other places. I did all the work by hand.

Here's a link:

I used the Meguiars ScratchX last weekend on my 2000 Bark Blue. Lots of scratches after the winter. I used a polisher and they all came out. Truck looks great. Get it....

Scratch-X is a 'by hand' product but, I have heard of folks utilizing it on a dual action polishser (PC) with good results (although, I don't recommend it).

So, in short, if you don't have a polisher, don't worry, you can achieve great results with some elbow grease.

Oops. I used the hell out of it with the polisher.
