Meguiars ScratchX should do the trick. Look for the new forumla. It supposed to hit walmarts first in a couple of weeks.

Do you have a buddy that owns, and knows how to use an orbital buffer? A buffer and some light polish will fix that kind of stuff in a few minutes. ScratchX is cool for a hand polish, but it can leave swirls if you press too hard.

I never heard or experienced ScratchX leaving swirls. Infact it actually removes swirls as swirls are basically very fine scratches.

Yeah, if you apply it correctly, but most newbs usually press too hard. ScratchX is an agressive polish, so it has abrasives in it. I've seen it leave hazy spots on dark colored paint. IMO, a buffer would leave a better finish, but ScratchX is fine.
