Default what is the best way to get rid of scratch marks

If anyone has a good rubbing compound that they use let me know because i sat there for 20 min with a buffer and some turtle wax compound and it barely did anything.

You can buy paint colored wax that will help to fill in the scratch. If it's deep enough there is not a whole lot more you can do.

first of all what type of buffer are you using, that makes alot of difference. also, turtle wax will not do the job. see if you can get yourself to an autobody supply store and ask them for a cutting compound and a polishing compound and they should be able to help you out. also, the deepness of the scratch also contributes to you getting it out or not.

post a picture so we can see.
