Well, to start off, my car was keyed last night after I parked it when I got back to college in our overflow lot...so today after class, I took my car home so I could try to get rid of the scratches (There was a combination of 3 of them but none were really anything that should require professional attention). I had some light Turtle Wax polishing compound that comes in the bottles...I didn't use any of the rubbing compound, not a fan of it and plus the Turtle Wax stuff is one of the only scratch/oxidation removers that I found actually work. But anyways, I went to town on the scratches with the polishing compound for about 20 minutes and noticed that I had displaced enough paint to expose the primer/sealer and completely went through the red paint...which for 15 years old, shines like gold. So, I guess what i am trying to ask is; is the paint on the 3000GT's really that thin? I wax the car as often as I can, which is once every week-10 days now that the weather permits it. I say this to lead into my other question....Every time I wax the car, I've always applied wax to whole car to give the wax time to be absorbed into the paint and when I remove the wax, it comes off and leaves the rags red in some areas. Would that be paint or maybe removing wax that was absorbed into the paint and took the color? I use Black Magic wax and have waxed several other cars the same way and never seen this happen before.
