surface scratches
Hey people,
I just got a new sportster black and pearl gold and I was wiping down the fender with a clean towel. I think I put some surface scratches on the black paint. What can I do? Thanks

Don't dry wipe the paint! Use a duster (feather). Use some scratch and swirl remover wax (I like liquids because the tend to NOT dig into the paint!) After that, try an old hot rod/show car trick...get some regualr baking corn startch and sprinkle it on the finish and wipe it down/buff it with a soft cloth (flannel is cool).

McGuier's makes a cleaner/wax product. It's wax with a very fine rouge in it. Just apply and hand buff. Works great for getting swirl marks, etc out of clear coat.
Never use anything other than a soft, pure cotton cloth on the clear coat, or a microfiber towel.

RE: surface scratches
I have had great success with Meguiars Scratch X.. its in the tube.. its great on black... I actually apply it with a bounty or viva papertowel(very soft) and wipe it off with a cloth baby diaper... then to get it really glossy I wait about 5 minutes after I wiped all the wax off I hit it in the same process with pig-snot wax... it makes my chop shine...
