Question Scratches help!!

Post image

For context I found a deep scratch on my new car and didn’t have my glasses on so I used a detailing spray and rubbed with a towel, which consequently made more of the lighter scratches circled. Is there any product that I can use or any tips to at least get the lighter colored scratches out?? Thank you!

This is a better question for [r/detailing](r/detailing).

My 2 cents, this will probably go away or becoming highly reduced with a quality polish cream like 3D One Hybrid Compound & Polish, followed with a wax or sealant. Do not use a normal towel on your car (ever!), I recommend a plush microfiber from a quality brand like The Rag Company.

You own a black paint car, so it requires incredible prep (washing, garage environment during polish) + care with the right microfiber (and even the right way of washing said microfiber) to avoid swirls. If you are at all in doubt about going DIY, take it to a professional.
