Washed/Waxed and now Scratches!!!

byoo79 · 07-20-2006, 11:03 AM

Did the ZAINO treatment to my car last week.

I guess in the process of washing or drying, some debris caused it to scratch my paint.

It is hardly noticeable in unless you look at it directly in the sun, at an angle. This leads me to believe its just scratches in the clearcoat.

What can I do about this? If I use ZAINO ZPC will it ultimately wear down my clearcoat and make the paint look uneven?

Can I take it to a detailer and have them remove it? I have tried Meguiars scratch remover, NU-Finish scratch remover, pretty much everything off the shelf except ZPC.

What should I do?

When you were drying it the towel you used was probably dirty, or at least not as clean as you thought. They are probalby just very light scratches and another Z5 shot should take them out
