Tiny scratches on my black a3?

RE: Tiny scratches on my black a3?
Are you sure you're not using too much wax? It shouldn't take long to dry. When I'm waxing mine, I'll typically apply wax to a couple panels and then go back to remove it. All you need is a light haze.
If you want to give something else a shot, my dad has been using this stuff that you spray on as your drying the car. He loves it, saves a lot of time. I haven't tried it yet though, I'm too set in my ways and I've already resigned myself to the fact that I'm going to spend the better part of a day whenever I fully detail my car.

Here's a good tip; every six months or so,use a clearcoat prep or swirl/haze remover - especially for black cars. This smooths out the clearcoat surface, removes fine haze and scratches, and makes waxing super-easy. If you prep properly, the wax goes on and off like teflon, driesvery quickly, and you'll use only a miniscule amount.

DCNY7777, i have the exact same problem, i've been living in southern oregon for the past two months, the roads are dirty up there with me killing thousands of insects on my front grill and rocks and dirt flying everywhere, it's rough. with the wax, i usually do a few light layers of wax instead of using one heavy layer of wax, but i also have XSTIMUS's problem where i have a lot of crazy light scratches, i tired buffing it out with rubbing compound, but that just covers it for a few weeks, but you can't really see the scratches unless you're 3 feet away from the car, for now, i'm just keepsing it clean, waxed, and maybe in a few years, take it to a professional and repaint the whole car.
