Question Removing Light Scratches??

Ok so im looking for the best wax or scratch removers. I have light scratches from light brush during hunting season and i wanna know what you guys think the best brand would be to use. I have a darker blue paint if that helps.

I'd start by washing the vehicle with dish soap, car wash and dirty dish grease are chemically similar and the dish soap (dawn is my favorite) will remove all wax. A clay bar should also strip the wax.

Once the wax is gone, look at your scratches again. If your scratches are just in the wax, they should be gone now. If they are still there you have a couple of options, mostly depending on how much work you want to do and how deep they are. A phased waxing with a polishing coat, a sealer and glazer and a final wax will help a lot with shallow scratches. If they are deep enough you can feel them with a finger nail, your going to need a lot more work.
