While removing the ice from our car, the paint was accidentally scratched (using an ice scraper). I believe the scratches are superficial. Is there anything to do to easily get rid of the scrtaches ? Any method/products to recommend ? Thank you ! ---

You could buff them out and there are lots of great videos on Youtube. If it’s a newer car you just scratched the clear coat and it should be easy enough to buff them out. ---

I’ve had good luck with Meguiars Cleaner Wax for minor scratches. [http://www.meguiarsdirect.com/product/4571](http://www.meguiarsdirect.com/product/4571) Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. Ed B.
