She used the public jet brush

[stitched]

Bless,
Bought a mint Mazda 2 last month to replace her ageing fiesta, I know but she bought it before we met and to be fair it has done her proud, it is crystal blue with diamond bright coating and looked like it was brand new.
She loves it so much she decided to wash it every week, I did tell her to use the local hand car wash who are really decent if it’s just a daily.
Anyhow she proudly told me this morning that she’d saved a fiver by using the public jet wash, with a brush.
You know, the one 7 white van men had cleaned diamond dust off with.
Nothing serious but many shallow scratches visible, she’s devastated.
Now don’t need advice on detailing but what would you gentlemen advise to get it back to its original pristine self?

If it's not too wrecked a good clean then some Autoglym super resin might get it back then some wax

if that (quite literally) doesn't cut it, you'll need to get use some G3 or similar (wet)

Is it just swirled or are there actual (as in proper) scratches?

If it's just swirled, unless you want to pay a couple of hundred quid to a detailer, I'd just leave it.

If not; you'll either be filling those swirls with a product which will need re-applying soon enough, or buying a rotary polisher to remove them yourself.

As a daily driver small car, trying to maintain a swirl free finish is a lot of work.

If they are proper scratches, but not down to primer, get a detailer in to have a look.

I don't use these on my own car but when washing the company vehicle I always give the brush a blast with the pressure gun

Definitely time to trade her in now too! Sounds like a right banger, new improved model is the solution.

It's beyond repair now. Scrap it.

I wouldn't use a pubic jet brush either.
