Car's paint

My car has black paint and it looks good but man does it collect scratches. I'm really pissed off because this bitch is collecting scratches like there is no tomorrow. I was this car at least once per week and wax once per month. I don't drive through sand or dirty covered roads and I do not rub up against and foliage.

Is anyone else having this problem? Any advice on how to remove shallow scratches and swirl marks?

I am kinda upset because I go through extensive lengths to keep this car clean and in good condition. I keep this car in a garage at home.

OB is the hardest color to take care of, sorry to be the one to inform you.

Waxing doesnt remove light swirls/scratches.

get a claybar and some polish. itll do the trick.

After you polish, do you wax over it?

What are these swirl marks you speak of?

j/k - This has all been discussed many times before and anyone who owns an OB G (YN?, sorry, bad joke) learned about swirls within the first 5 minutes after taking delivery.

Go into the car/detailing section and you will read all about the swirls on the OB. Very hard to keep clean.
