I think I found your mother's car washing tool

or maybe this one

It's a door panel surface
You need a good car detailing shop to polish the surface with a 1st coat of coarse-grained liquid polishing compound, 2nd coat with an intermediate one and a 3rd coat with a thin one. Try it on a panel and you will see if the result is worth it, then go on...

OHHHH
that looks so bad.What did she whip it with?The scots brite is a possibility.My wife used it once on the toyota.
And this is what your car looked like someday. :'(
I think that you should take it to a professional detailer or if you do not want to then i would recomend that you try out Scratch X from meguiar's.It has great reviews.I dont think that waxing by itself will improve it much.
sorry to see that :'(

My well-meaning mother-in-law decided to help me out by wiping down my car while we were away over Thanksgiving. My car was as dirty as I have ever let it get .... the results are not good.
I'm so angry I could *@#&$#*@$. I'm just sick over this.

As long as the scratches do not penetrate through to the primer, a pro detail shop should be able to buff those out with a rotary buffer, unless you're handy with a Porter-Cable random orbital bufffer. In fact, you'll also end up with a beautiful high gloss if you have them do the whole car.

What did the out-law use to wipe down the car, it must have been a Brillo pad
