Default How do you remove shopping cart scuffs?
Today a wind pushed a shopping cart into my car. Is there any way to get the thing off? I will see in the morning how the scuff looks like. Would professional wax help?

If they're surface scuffs, polishing should remove them.

Default to expand on what Press said...detailing clay with detailing spray..
..as long as there is no paint damage, most of it should be "stuck" in the clear coat.

Put a nice layer of wax on after the clay work is done.

Default Went and took a close look at the scuff. It appears that there
is a very thin vertical line. Is that a dent or does the scuff gives you the illusion of a dent?

I'd complain to the manager about his shoddy carts.
