I thought rubbing compound can put scratches in the car...

I recently (about 30 minutes ago) used Mothers Scratch remover on my Infiniti to remove some light abrasions and some light scratches. Worked perfectly, then I followed it up with 3M Hand Glaze and then some Mothers Carnauba Wax.

a good glaze will help to hide small scratches too. just seal it with a good wax [synthetics will last longer].

I swear by the mothers carabuna cleaner .. sometimes I put it on a few days after a wash... you gotta scrub h-a-r-d. Takes a few hours by hand, but well worth it.

I used that 'Scratch X' stuff on my truck...all it did was make the scratches less visible. I repeated it several times with terry cloth, pad, etc. Nothing changed. It was a cheap way to make the car less scratch looking, but after all that work, it wasn't worth the time spent to me.

Scratch X is amazing. My car's paint looked like crap when I first got it. I used a whole bottle of this stuff and now my car shines!
