Small chips and scratches

    What's best way to cover these over? I've a bottle of T Cut which seems to do the job but it's far from ideal?
    Would it be worth getting a good wax to go over this also?

    And saying that can someone recommend a good wax, I've a silver car if that makes a difference?

    Thanks

    If you're looking for a good wax then Meguairs wax is great stuff.

    Meguiars is good stuff, but how deep are your scratches? If you can get your nail down into them, then it won't polish out. If you can't, you might be lucky enough to have a shallow scratch that will polish out.

    Get yourself some 3M 2000 wet and dry paper (Don't use anything else except 3m, or it _will_ scratch the surface), and a bucket of soapy water. Gently rub the paper using your fingers perpendicular to the scratch, if the scratch is going left to right, there's no point in wet sanding from left to right either, go up and down instead. When you're happy it's polished enough, dry the area, and you'll see the area you sanded is dull and cloudy. Apply some Meguiars speed glaze, and give it a fast, firm buffying. Do that a few times, and it should be gleaming.
