2005 Black Mercedes S55: Scratches and swirls

[E.J.]

I have a friend who just bought his new car. After a month or so, one of his boys washed the car and somehow, he scratched the dickens out of it. There are a few rather large scratches in the hood, but I think these and a few others might require wet sanding or painted.



The car has two issues: 1.) the swirl marks and 2.) the scratches. What would you recommend regarding each? I have a PC and know how to use it pretty well.



I have used the K-Twins with S-100 or Sauv. (when I have it). The car is washed every week and I am trying to get him to get it waxed every 4-6 weeks since it sits outside all day.



Thanks in advance.

Depends. For black, my usual go to polish is the Optimum series. Without pics, we cannot really judge what type of polish/pad to use

My thought was to use the LakeC. ORANGE pad. I would like to try and get a digital pic. of the car and post it, but seeing as how my dog climbed up on the counter and ate literally destroyed my camera...my very next purchse will be a new digital camera haha.
