Default Meguiar's Scratch X WORKS!

This stuff is AMAZING! And I promise I'm not a salesman. I read on several threads where this was mentioned and it really works for completely removing most scratches. I even had a few that I thought were into the clear coat/paint but it took care of those! Highly recommended.

I've used it on all my cars for years. It's the only one I've found that takes out swirl marks and light scratches without leaving marks of its own.

Leave a pair of gloves on the car for her before she enters.

Think it'll help with paint cracks? I got bumped in a parking lot in my right rear corner and there's some webbing going on. Maybe reduce the visibility a bit?
