Default How do I?......................................

Get rid of score marks after polishing/waxing.
I use microfibre cloths to polish with Autogym, then p21 wax, and it looks shit-hot until you go up really close then you see score marks everywhere! They are not swirl marks! Looks like someone has used emery paper to polish it at some point! Its not that bad, but I would like to get rid of them, can anyone help?

Thanks

Any photo's possible? You say they are not swirl marks - would you say they are more severe than swirling?

Yep, it sounds like it would be a mission by hand. You could try an abrasive polish, but your results may be limited. Best bet would be a full machine detail...
