To take those marks that damn cat left on your car, go and get a good cleaner/polish from a automotive paint supplier. They usually carry the good stuff. If you have a high speed buffer, take a little of the cleaner wax, turn your buffer to around 1400 rpm and massage the area with it. You should see your scratch disappear. Now if it's a dark colored car, you're going to want to buy a "swirl eliminator". Use your buffer and only run it around 1000 rpm and use light pressure, move the buffer around the area not letting the paint heat up in the area your working on, or else you'll end up with more swirl marks. Swirl marks are caused by heating up the paint with a buffer. You should only wax your car 2-3 times a year. But you can polish it anytime you want. The reason why you don't want to wax all the time is because after a while you'll get a big wax build up and your finish will dull out. About every 2 years take some wax/grease remover (available at auto paint store) and wipe your whole car down before you wax it. You see a huge improvement on the shine of your car.
