    I don't have an answer for your question, but I have a question of my own: what did you use to paint your wheels? They look great

    If you don't have any equipment and plan on doing it by hand, and since you have a black car, you can look into Turtle Wax Black Box.

    If you check out my ride thread, I made a scuff almost disappear.

    Clay bar will get contaminates out of the paint.Then its time for polish plus a good wax,a good place to visit for detail related questions is Autopia.org

    If you do plastidip make sure you use some kind of tire shine the black draws out the dirtiness of your tires

    Nufinish scratch doctor is great for swirls and light scratches. Ive tried them all including mothers, meguiar's, and even 3m and it is by far the best I've used. Ive also heard great things about Adams scratch and swirl remover. Their stuff is all awesome but pretty pricey.
