To directly answer your question, some success can be had by using Scratch X by hand, but only on the lightest of scratches. Watch this or jump to 6:10 for the best explanation as to what you're actually doing to the surface of your car when you wash/buff/polish/wax/etc. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYed_Hnrql4&list=PL96D52AF54166C886&index= 11"]Paint Correction on 1958 Porsche Speedster - /DRIVE CLEAN - YouTube[/ame]

I've gotten rid of two clear coat scratches with 3m's system. Its the same way I've seen a body shop remove scratches.

I have meguiar's ultimate compound and ultimate polish. Ultimate compound does wonder for stubborn etched water spots. To finish it up, I use ultimate polish.
Not to mention, they are good to remove etched bird craps |
