Light exterior paint scratches?
Hey all.
Just was wondering what products you guys use for filling/removing light exterior scratches. I have a daytona blue 350z and i have started to accumlate little white scratches here and there. I was going to stop at autozone on the way home and pick something up, just wanted to know what works best. Thank you!

Photos are helpful.
By "fill" I suspect a depth that will not buff out. Touch-up paint may help.
A light abrasive may remove scratches.
Both methods are discussed in detail here. Search. Read. Learn.

I agree, recommend a good detail/polish before attempting to fill. especially if they are light scratches as you describe.
Get a porter cable 7424 dual-action buffer and then get some medium compound and a finishing polish and do the entire car. I own one and it's amazing....or you could pay someone 50 bucks or so to just buff it for you. If you lived around me I would do it for cheap :P I fully detailed my 03 Daytona Blue Z after i recently bought it and it looks amazing.
Machine is the best way to get the scratches out, or at least make them very un-noticeable. Scratch X and equivalents will only fill in the scratch like a wax would do, it's realyl not going to buff out anything.
