2. My Integra is black. I think it might be some offset of black; it looks like its got glitter or some sh!t in the paint. Anyway, where I live in central NY (the Catskills, mountainous region), there is a lot of roadbound rocks and big bugs, etc. These things constantly wear away the good look of my car when I first got it. There a tons of scratches and small chips where you can see tiny rocks have hit. I bought some liquid scratch remover and it doesn't seem to work. Anyone have any suggestions of scratch removers/wax to fix my cars scratched exterior? Also, any other suggestions of preventing scratches/chips?

If you are buffing by hand, always use a clean foam applicator pad. Never mix compounds on the same pad, no matter how much you wash the pad the previous compound will always have some remains on it. When buffing by hand, only move in back and forth directions. Move the pad the same way air would flow over your car, meaning from front to back. Never buff in circles, if any dirt or dust gets in your pad you are going to be creating as many swirls as you remove. You want to work the compound into your paint, don't let it dry like you would a wax. Remember that the compound needs to remove some clearcoat, so don't be afraid to put your arm into it. Start off using a good amount of pressure on the pad. As the compound starts to dry and get tacky, slowly use less and less pressure. Once the compound is almost dry, wipe the remaining off with a clean microfiber towel. Once you have finished with one area, move on to the next. A good rule of thumb is buff two square feet at a time.
