An over enthusiastic and under qualified employee has washed my D4 today but I think he must have used a hard bristled brush rather than a sponge 
There are now a lot of very minor straches on the paintwork 
I am sure they can probably be polished out but is there something I can use myself or do I need to get a professional involved?

I reckon you could try Poorboys Blackhole.
Ideal for Java's and dark colours.
But you'll need to wax over it to add protection.

Several options. AutoGlym Super Resin Polish (or Poorboys BH) and then wax over the top.
OR
light machine polish with a dual action orbital polisher. Then wax.
OR
Give to a detailer for correction.
If you want option 3 send me a PM. Will give you some info which might help. JKP on here (site sponsor) is a detailer and he "might" be able to help but I think Herefordshire is a fair old drive for him  Not sure if there are any other detailers on here though.
Regards

Sadly I think the yard brush rather than the sponge is the offending weapon. 2016 D4 Landmark - Waitomo/Ebony
