~One mans opinion / observation~

I second Alboston’s comment; try the ScratchX with a ROB, although ScatchX was formulated for hand application an ROB application will make a world of difference. If this doesn’t remove the scratches try wetting the foam pad before going to something more abrasive like Megs DACP



~ Hope this helps ~

this may sound crazy, but there are a few different buffers out there...I have a buffer, but dunno what type, orbital or rotary...it kind of looks like a power saw...I'll hafta take a pic of it later.

How do you take the snow off your car?? By the looks of it, that might be how you got those scratches. Anyhow I would say go the DACP route and #9 swirl remover.

Good Luck

I was gonna suggest professional, but everyone beat me to it by suggesting rotary buffer because that's what they would use. If you don't have the rotary style buffer I would take it to a pro and see what they can do.
