You need to use a product called liquid glaze or liquid glazing compound (not to be confused with rubbing compound, or machine glaze) This is a liquid kinda like liquid wax and can be purchased at most auto parts stores, Meguiars has an entire line of glaze products, It is for minor scuffs, swirls (like what you got from the towel). Use it with a cotton cloth, Very clean and soft (not a terry towel), I like to use plain cotton t-shirts, Use an ample amount and rub it like you are waxing except with more pressure. Also may want to remove the wax with some basic rubbing alchohol before hand.

Here is the link to the glaze @ Meguiars http://www.meguiars.com/estore/produ...ectionID=31401

Use either the New Car Glaze, or Show Car Glaze
I used the Show Car Glaze on the last car that I painted, plus I just used it on the Yaris when I filled in some rock chips. If the link for some reason does not work they are under- Professional (Mirror Glaze Brand)>Auto Paint Care>Car Polishes>Pure Polishes on Meguiars.com, But just remember that you have covered the swirl mark on the clear coat with wax now so it will have to be removed to acually get the the damage, otherwise you are just polishing wax.

Yay i got it fixed, i went to auto zone and got the Mequiars Scratch X because what you guys told me about Mequiars, and i also did a research reviews on the web of the Scratch X and i got alot of good feedback on the reviews, i also bought a microfiber towel, total for about $15, so i went home washed the spot where it had scratches, dry it , the apply the Scratch X with the mircofiber towel, the result is awesome, i can hardly see the scratches anymore, though it is not like brand new no scratch looking, but i think this is the best ressult as it can get for a scratch remover tube, thank yo you guys, you guys are awesome, i love you guys on YarisWorld.com

Good to know, I will have to try the scratchX now. Meguiars makes the best auto care products period!! I use the Meguiars microfibre drying towel, It rocks! Better than a leather sheep skin any day.. Not to mention the Goldclass wax and quick detailer.

2007 Yaris Touch up paint

I developed a "nick" on the edge of the drivers door on my 2007 Yaris Bayou Blue Liftback. Duplicolor has nothing for this color / year yet. However they
(Duplicolor) were good enough to direct me to paintscratch.com. They had my color and I was able to order the touchup up base coat and the clear top coat in a small bottle like Duplicolor sells in the Auto Stores. They also have the paints in larger quanities.

I ordered touch up paint from my Toyota dealer, They had to get it from Japan and it took about three weeks. The paint is 1/2 ounce and has the brush or roller in it, It is a perfect match for color and only $8.00 with no shipping charge.
