Help! My Challenger got a little too close to a bush and now there are some scratches between the roof and my door. I panicked, did some research and found out it's only scratches on the clear coat layer and the clear coat tends to scratch very easily. I found a bunch of solutions online to get rid of them but I figure I'd get the best answer here since people here are much more intimately familiar with Chrysler paint jobs. What is the best way of getting clear coat scratches out?

Turtle Wax products are, in general, considered to be low-end, compared to the products used at the professional refinishing level.
Something like 3M Perfect it 3000 polishing compound, followed by a protective wax should do well. If the scratches are deep enough, some light wetsanding with extremely fine sandpaper, 3000 grit, for example may be necessary. This would then be followed by the polishing compound, then wax.

Not to disagree with Russ, but I had very good results with Turtle Wax's headlight polish. YMMV
