Black 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe Scratch Marks

[ojtwelve]

Hello I am a newbie with this whole detailing a car task and I need serious help. 1 month ago I purchased my Black 2010 Santa Fe. I have hand washed it 2 times since I bought it using microfiber sponge to wash and the microfiber cloth to dry. The problem is yesterday for some reason when the sun was shining on the side of my car I saw some scratch marks along the passenger side door. It was some long scratch marks as if something small scraped it. What is weird is that if I look at the area in non-sunlight, dead on, I cannot see the scratches, however as soon as the light hits it, I can see it. Is there anything I can use to get the scratch marks out? My girlfriend does not think it is a big deal but this is my first car and I would like to keep it in great condition especially since it is fairly new. I am not sure if it got scratched during my washing process - hose the car down, wash with microfiber cloth and soap, rinse, dry with new microfiber cloth.



Any solutions/product recommendation to my scratch problem? I am thinking the paint is not damaged.

Use the least aggressive method first, then increase in aggressiveness if needed. If you are buying over the counter products, then look for a mild polish.(i.e SwirlX) Even a cleaner wax (i.e. Mother`s or Meguiars Cleaner Wax) might work.

Bought Zymol Cleaner Wax today and applied some to a microfiber cloth then rubbed it into the scratches. No luck. No improvement on scratches.
