I unfortunately learnt the hard way not to use public car washes , I have ran my finger nail along them and it doesn’t get caught so from my research these are buff-able clear coat scratches - I drive an 04 acura tsx and have gotten a offer for 500$ to buff out these scratches and am wondering if it’s worth trying to do myself. I purchased turtle wax polishing compound, and was planning on applying it after I clean the car at my home. does anyone have any tips? do you think I can buff these out with just polish or do you think i’ll have to use a cutting compound? any advice would be great as I want to not have to spend 500$.
