removing scuff mark?
Got a scuff on the paint at the car wash over the weekend. I think the brush they use toswab the bumpers has a wood or plastic housing, and that came into contact with the paint as the overzealous car wash kid was brushing the rear hatch. It's right above the bumper, in a horizontal line about 3 inches long. I think the edge of the brush scraped it when they swabbed the top of the bumper.
Yesterday afternoon I dug out some old liquid wax I had and tried to wax it out, with no success. It got better, but it's still there.
Does anyone have a recommendation on how to get rid of a deeper scuff mark? I read through these posts but didn't see anything specific. Thanks.

If I can't get something out with a cleaner/wax my next step is to use a polishing compound. Make sure it is very fine though. If your car has clearcoat you don't want to go through it. I have some stuff called scratch and swirl remover, but it does not seem to do much at all.

Thanks JimKW, I'll see if a polishing compound will do the trick.
I'm really ticked that the car wash employees are so careless, I can't be the first one this has happened to.... I don't know if it's the vaguaries of youth, or the me-first attitude that seems to be so prevalent any more, but when approached, the employees think it's funny and really could give a hoop about whether they do a good job or not, or whether they cause any damage or not [:@]
