Thanks to all the posts here, I have learned quite a bit in the last month or so since I picked up a 01 S2000. There were quite a few scratches and chips in the hood and a nasty scratch on the rear fender that I was hoping to get rid of.
I started with Meguiars wash, then used Meguiars clay and detail lube, then it started to rain so I moved into the garage. I cleaned the car with Zymol HD Cleanse and after reading good things about Meguiars Scratch X, I tried it on the scratches. I was pleasantly surprised that it took most of them out with a little elbow grease. I cleaned those areas again with the Zymol then put three coats of Zymol Ebony on the car.

For being a rank amateur, I think it turned out okay. But, I think what it really needs eventually is for the whole car to be buffed out.

Here are a few pics, it was really overcast, I'm sure it would look better when some sun

And one of the trunk, I never could get the spoiler looking good, any tips on that?
