Default Help, just got a Del sol and need some advice

Car had a bra on it before and now there is a line where you can see when the bra was... like its darker where the bra was and lighter everywhere else on the hood/fenders.... its captive blue, so its kinda noticable..... any advice on how to fix this besides repainting the whole car? also, minor scratches in the paint? how do i fix that? rubbing or polishing compound? i really don't wanna repaint it since it is really clean/ original paint.... thanks for any help you can provide

since u just got the car, it's probably oxidized all over. just buff out the whole car, and it will do wonders. as for the line on the hood, i would just get a cf hood or repaint it. i doubt u could buff out those lines, because they are probably pretty deep by now.

just use a mild kind of rubbing compound and a power buffer. just follow the instructions on the back of the bottle. for best result i used swirl remover, and then a coat of wax afterwards.
