Question(s) generally when I was the car, I use soap Griotts, or Meguiars.. micro-fiber towels for drying.. then I do Meguiar's Quick-detailer (if fall out and grit is significant, I do the clay-bar) Anyway, what kind of wax and scratch remover should I get/use.. now mind you, I don't do this as a business, but I enjoy washing my own car, rather than taking it to the car wash. The car is white (08 a4), scratches are tiny really but I know they are there, and it bothers me.

Anyway, thanks, and Kudos on the great work, to bad you are not in Cali...

Sorry this is so late, my pc crashed and I am just now catching up on all of my stuff! As for your A4, your lucky its white! haha! To really get the scratches out your atleast going to need a Porter Cable Random Orbit Machine, there is no way to remove swirls like this by hand. Check out detailersdomain.com or autogeek.net for some pre-packed kits to get your started, good luck! I would recommend P21S 100% Paste Wax for your final wax.

I was wondering if you could shed some light as to what you use to fill and rid the car of those pesky small scratches?

I do not fill anything, I spend about 12-15 hours straight polishing with a high speed polisher to ensure every defect is removed.
