Its probably just swirl marks...you can usually get away with meguiars scratch X if theyre not too bad! I bought a porter-cable D/A buffer when I had my black stang and used swirl remover and the proper pads to make quick work of all those imperfections. Its definetly a must have if you own a black car! kinda glad i switched to white(much easier) LOL.

How expensive is a decent buffer? I have some marks from wet sanding aswell as key marks and surface scratches so a buffer would be a wise investment for me, but i dont have lots of money to spare.

Unfortunatly theyre not cheap! the porter-cable 7424 is the best on the market and the cheapest ive ever seen it was $150..usually more like $180. I got a complete kit from autogeek.net ( all the pads,swirl removers,polish,wax ect) for $250. its totally worth every penny if your serious about detailing youre car to perfection as i am...and i still consider it the best appearance mod ive ever bought!

nope, it looks like a surface scratch.. two of them on the left side of the spoiler. I'll try the scratch ex!...
If its a surface scratch id try the scratchX first since its cheap and easy to find at any auto store.youll need to do at least a few applications..and use alot of elbow grease! if its a deep scratch youll need something more serious than over the counter auto-zone stuff though!

I had some really light scratches in my clear coat that ended up having to be wet sanded out with 1500.
As for a removing swirl marks and getting a mirror finish, I have heard the porter cable 7424 is a good polisher too - the best without going to a real expensive pro only rotary buffer. I see it online for $119 including xtra counter weight and backing pads.
