Is it me or.......

Damn.... Is it me or is Trophy Blue possible the worst colur in the world for showing up every single blemish, mark, and scratch.

Any one have any ideas? I guess a good T-Cut and waxing?

a coarse polish will take out some of the minor marks.
As said above try owning a black is so much worse

Phate is an unknown quantity at this point
Use Auto-glym super resin polish.

Work it hard and leave it on for about an hour. Then take it off, it has filler elements in it so reduces the swirls etc and plus its an awesome polish and makes your car panels soft enough to shag

Blue is a doddle to keep clean and fresh looking, like Sharron and Luke say - try black then you will know what it's really like to suffer from scratches, swirls and stone chips not to mention smear marks, dust and anything else you can think of, showing up ten times worse than most other colours available !
