Hi all... I am from Toronto...
My protege' 5 have some scatches on it, is there anyway to cover or eliminate the scatches? Is there any tools that I can buy in Canadian tire instead of repaint my car?
Please help... Thanks...

how deep are the scractches?
once the dealer got my front bumber scratched and i was so pissed off. after some complaining they buffed the scratches off, its not even noticable now. they also said they would repaint it! but they haven't called me for the paint job yet...

Uhhh no, cause I believe you will only make it worse by globbing on touch up paint. If the scratches aren't very deep, just get a good wax and buff it out. I use Mequiar's Gold on my car. There are all kinds of buffing compounds you can get, like I said it just depends on how deep the scratches are, give it a try you an't hurt anything waxing/buffing your car.

Canadian Tire sells lots of different waxes, Meguiar's included.
The instructions will be printed on the label...it's not too hard, but very time consuming if you plan on waxing your whole car the right way...
If buffing it out with wax doesn't work, you can try a spot polish by a body shop...

yeah, if you plan to wax part of your car, you might as well wash and wax the whole thing. Even if you don't get rid of the scratches, you're protecting your car from damage that weather and time can cause.
