3M makes the best scrach remover. You should be able to find it at autozoe. Its in the body section. If you do it do the whole car and then wash and wax it.

My car looks fine from 10 feet away but if the sun is out it looks terrible up close. Drives me crazy.

I found the trick to never getting these. I have NEVER laid a sponge/towel or anything on my car. I go to a do it yourself carwash here and use the high pressure sprayer and just spray the **** out of it. They also have a wax you can spray on which seems to work very well for being so simple. My paint looks perfect. And when i dry it i usea microfiber towel or two.

I wash my car like that too, but I bought mine used with 5000 miles on it from an old lady believe it or not. Who the hell knows how she washed it. I know how you feel with the black and sonic blue isnt any better.

I bought mine from the wife of a 90 year old man who died LOL. It had 37k miles but i guess they tood good care of it also... Maybe they just dont show up on red as much! Or maybe he was just to old to wash it so he never did lol.
