Default Touching up an 850

Once I get out of high school (I graduate in about a week) I would like to get my 850 touched up. I would like to get rid of the small scratches, scrapes and very minor dents from the senior lot.

I would also like to get some scratches out of the rear bumper.

Also the bumper cover on the bottom is pretty scratched up.

In a perfect world I would love for my car to look straight out of the factory again. Whats the closest I can do to obtaining this?

I like that quixx stuff too! comes in a kit. They do make it easy for you. I use this on my paint to "seal" it from the elements. http://www.liquidglass.com/lgpolish.htm. Also you can use this stuff (depending on your bumper and trim being black or grey) to dye the bumpers and trim to give it that "like new" look. Ihave used it on mine and a few other members on here have too...http://showroomnewproducts.com/

Just did my 850. I used polishing compound to rub out the marks, used factory touch up paint to cover nicks and scratches, used cleaning wax to get the dirt out of the clear coat, then plan wax. Looks very good.
