I tried that Nu Finish Scratch Remover stuff and it didnt seem to do much for me. I have a buddy that works at a Chrysler dealership and he used some wax and a buffer and got most of my scratches out. Get someone that has a buffer to do it and I think you'll have better luck.

scratch x doesn't really remove the scratches. Scratch x is known in the detailing world as a "glaze" glazes are a very non durable finish taht fills in scratches thus making them hard to see to the eye. then you put a nice coat of wax on above it and let it be. over time the scratches will come back. if you want a good way to get rid of them take them to a professional detailer. find a girl yes i said girl that does her own work in her own shop. Women make the best detailers. they have a better eye for it and a much more delicate touch than men thus they generally don't ever take off more than they need to. I took my old car to a girl in a small town a bit away from me paid about 200ish and she took out tons of scratches and the car looked great up until the year later when i sold it.
