So I spend about 2 hours at the local self wash making my car look great, I pull it out of the bay, and what do I see, a HUUUUGE scratch along the side skirt on the passenger side...must have been hidden by the salt and the snow, no idea how it got there....and ideas on how to fix? i don't think this can buff out, it looks really bad. What do I do?!?!?!

Try scratch remover first of all, failing that consult a smart repair guy. These guys can work miracles, if the guy is any good you wont even know it was there.

Might want to post a pic in the Detailing forums and let one of the experts suggest a solution. GL.
