Can I hide fine scratches in my paint?

If you are like most car owners, your car has clear coat paint. Its clear layer magnifies scratches because it refracts the coloured base-coat layer below. Don't be fooled by claims that colour-matched waxes can hide these scratches. Since your surface paint is clear, pigmented wax will obscure its transparency, look strange and won't do the job.

A surface prep/polish can help reduce the visibility of fine, hairline surface scratches. ScratchX or Mirror Glaze Swirl Remover do a great job of hiding these imperfections in your paint surface. The polish will restore valuable oils to the damaged paint and help reduce the optical refraction that makes scratches noticeable. For even greater swirl-mark reduction, apply several coats of polish. And make sure you protect the surface by following up with a coat of wax. This process can handle most minor defects. But if you can catch your fingernail on the scratch, you'll probably need to see a professional detailer for help.
