As long as the car doesn't have swirls on it that you are trying to remove, then that set of products will definatly make your car look great. How old is the car and what color? Is it in fairly good shape as it is, or does it need some TLC?

99 car with dark blue color.

The paint is in good shape but it isn't shine enough.

What's TLC?

If I need to remove some minor scratches, will Scratch-X works? Also it will be doing by hand

And should I remove scratches before or after the clay?

Thanks for all the help

I'd do the scratch removing after the clay. That's just me though. I usually follow up clay with some sort of paint cleaner if I'm going to try and remove scratches. Something like Klasse AIO or Meguiar's #9. If you just have a couple, then clay it first and then go over it with the scratchX. It doesn't really matter which order you do that in though.
