    I have several patches each probably about 1" X 2". The appearance ranges from invisible to glare white depending on the viewing angle. The paint itself is undamaged. I believe I scratched the clear coat while waxing the car. Any tips on repairing the damage will be greatly appreciated as I would like to have some improvement before the Venture Shield is applied.

    Thanks.

    Try some Meguiar's ScratchX. Rub vigorously with a sponge pad and remove immediately and then clean with spray detailer and a microfiber towel. Try that 3-4 times. If that doesn't help you might have to take it to a Detailer to be buffed out.
