Technica- Good outlook . . .

To the application question: don't buy any scratch remover or any of that crap= waste of time

Buy some good mothers or meguiars canuba wax. That will do the trick for a little while then they come back again.

Nah, I used to work at a body shop. . . you see people coming in all the time where they used touch up paint to fill in scratches and chips that could have easily been buffed or fogged out. Since the paint doesn't have clearcoat and isn't baked like Subaru baked their parts from the factory in about a year they come back looking like someone used the wrong color. Then it costs just about 2.5 times what it would have costed to get it fogged or buffed out.
