So I recently bought my 370z in really good condition, and now all of a sudden a bunch of scratches are appearing, what can I do?

My guess is they used some kind of wax with fillers and it's wearing off. Polishing should do the job. Go to Youtube and search for Junkman's videos.

Glass can also be polished, but it's a little trickier.
