Rubbing compound first... make sure you have a electric hand buffer or you will kill your arm....

then a good polish/wax

btw did you get the clips I sent you?

you can get colored wax too that will hide the scratches somewhat

I would avoid the "instafix" solutions.

how deep are the scratches? are they thru the clear and the paint or just surface?

What I want to know is did he turn down Vanderbilt because they did, or did not, have drugs on campus

A new paint job on a Lexus type car is a good $800+ because of the clear coat - if rubbing compound doesn't do the trick, colored wax is a whole lot cheaper Used to use in on an old Camero I used to own

?? did I use the word used too many times in that sentence??

If its just surface scratches, not deep, try a polish first. Compounds can wreck havoc on a paint jobs, especially in a novice's hands. You wanna NOT remove as much clear coat and paint as possible or in just a few short months the entire car will oxidize over and look like something from a junkyard. Even polishing takes a fine hand. Buffers tend to leave swirls.
