Big Mistake
Took the lazy way out to get all the salt off my car yesterday and took it through a car wash. Here is what happened:

Suggestions, other than not being a dope and doing that again

Try some wax on the scratches in the top pic; hopefully they are only rubber marks (m)
but the scratches in the bottom pic look pretty deep. definitely get that professionally done.

damn, guess sometimes its better to leave the car dirty than wash it
do you live anywhere near laser washes or hand wash bays?
if you know anyone with experience with buffer and compound id go that route before paying for anything from body shop. you might be suprised what proper buff job can do. as long as it smajority of clear coat you might be able to get away with it.
