    New car seems to have light scratches

    So I was just taking a look at my car ins bright sunlight, first time the sun has been out since I bought it, and it appears that it already has what look like light scratches, similar to swirl marks but in straight lines. Is this common? I did one light wash on the car and cant believe I would have done that with a light ONR/microfiber wash. Is there a way to protect it from getting worse and possibly fixing?

    That is normal, dealerships also wash cars and they don't use best method.

    IronX, clay and polish would sort that out, then a LSP of your choice.

    Taking a closer look, it looks like it might only be the spoiler that has the fine scratches. I have some zymol HD cleanse and wax, was thinking of trying to hit it with these to see if that fixes it.

    It can be common, I have a 09 WRX that came with some light scratches on the roof after I purchased it... then when i took it in for a free oil change, they gave it another 'free' wash... and BAM light scratches on the hood. That was the last time they will ever wash it again. The normal process... wash..clay...polish.. etc.. removed all of them for me.
