NEVER USE A COLORSTICK FOR BIGGER SCRATCHES!!! I'll be more ugly after than before!

Try "Scratch Out" by Kit. Inexpensive and really does the trick!

Hey man personally I use specialty products but if you want to use a brand like meguaires I would use there #82 swirl free polish works pretty good if the scratches are still not out try their #83, actully you can jsut buy #83 for those fine scratches because its sitll a polish not a compound and clear coat safe so you basically can't mess up but I wouldn't polish the hole car with #83 unless its really needed give that a try should work out well

Is Scratch X overkill for a couple of very very faint micro-scratches?
