Hi,
I just want to know if someone have tried the colored waxes that are avalible? My car has some minor scratches and I'm tinking about trying a wax with color to even out the small color differences. The scratches isn't through the paint, just some minor things from bushes and soft things.

The colored waxes do work well, but they're not worth it. If you wanna take out those little scratches and swirl marks from things use rubbing compound. You can get it at any local auto shop. The stuff works like a dream, it can take almost anything off. Even paint from other cars.

I have been using it for many years (Turtle wax) and I have never used better one.

Sounds good, think i will try both the rubing and the colored wax to get her in shape.
My only concern is that the red wax not will be the right color and it will be "flames" or "blures" areas instead of a solid color.

Is there any way to get the wax off if the result is bad?

If you buff it properly it will turn out good if not you will end up with like a gold/bronze smear...my red turned out alot deeper after i started using it but its alot nicer.
