Newbie calling for help on scratch removal

[chris1]

Hi,I think I'm really a novice in this. I got a Monaco Blue 320 & I know it's a relatively difficult color to maintain. The other day some damn cat went up the car....and following that a damn idiot dog who was chasing the cat jumped on the car & sratched the bonnet!!!! Aaargghh...wanted to kill those critters but I didn't want to be cruel to animals. So I washed the car, then applied some scratch remover that I bought (can't remember the brand but it was expensive). Applied the remover to the scratch areas & rubbed like mad, then after a couple of minutes wiped it off with a dry cloth. 70% of the scratches came off.....but whats worse is that it left a visible patch of diferent color at the area where I applied the remover. And I can't get rid of the patch by wiping it with a wet cloth. I'm sure car paint can't be that sensitive....so I must be doing something wrong. Any advice on this? Chris

ok, will just post my solution to the problem. Was recommended the latest turtle wax products. Used ICE liquid clay, then followed up with ICE liquid polish. Took care of the problem completely. Some scratches still exists though. Kinda regret buying a dark blue car, a silver one would've been better to hide the scratches.
