Question Paint care for tins any tips?

I wanted to know what riders are using on their tanks primarily, i have some scratches that are just there no matter how much wax i use.
Mother's wax, Zymol, helps some but not a cure.

I see the scratches around the gas cap and these are " very, very, fine " scratches, and then the dulling of paint where thighs rub the tank.

Anyone else have this happening and what are you using rubbing compound?

I don't want to mess up the factory paint, just keep it showroom new looking
as long as I can.

Thanks

only way to get those out is to buff them out with a light compound, and a machine, then wax it real well. Wax about 3 times a year.

Meguires Scratch X V2 for the scratches/dulled areas. Might take a couple applications.

Then a coat of wax.
