With a very dark vehicle, black more specifically, if you dont have someone thats awesome with a buffer do it for you, they will leave very noticeable swirl marks in your paint. The process would be to use a rubbing compound to cut through the clear coat so your scratch (that hopefully hasnt gone into the actual paint) is removed. Then a buffing agent would be the second step, to bring back the shine. Here's my advise to you... DONT call a "mobile detailer" and have him come do it. Take it to a shop, so IF they do happen to mess up your paint, they will be liable for the mistake, and have to fix it. Even if that means repainting the vehicle. Hope this was helpful

Z is black
i have another thread relating to this, my backyard is literally a skating rink, no lights in the garage either, my phone sux, cant get a shot of the scratches even with flash on...
if they buff or polish out the scratch, does that mean i have to constantly wax that whole panel, well whole car would make more sense. and id have to always have on wax otherwise the spot that used to have the scratch that got buffed or polished will look flat and dull compared to the rest of the panel?
would anyone be able to see where the scratch used to be after it gets polished and buffed since it will have a thinner layer of clear coat?
