WTF do i have to do to get rid of those scratches left by my dumbass not washing the bubble brush off before i used it on my car? It's covered with micro-scratches. I tried polishing compound with a buffer, and waxing.. I need something else. Any sugguestions?

Best you can do is get one of the better waxes that can buff them out, or at least make them less noticeable. If that doesn't work you probably f'ed the paint up for good.

My Dad and I love Pro-Buff, I doubt you can find that anywhere... but you never know.

I believe a member recommended Scratch-Out from Wal-Mart and said it worked well. Meguiar's makes a 3-stage wax with paint cleaner, polisher, and caranuba wax. Maybe try the paint cleaner, I saw that @ Autozone.

Meguiars Scratch X is also good stuff. It's helped me on several occasions.
