Very fine scratches?

On my hatch area, there are alot of scratches you can see when the light hits it right. The scratches are so fine, you cannot even feel them with your nail. I rubbed some scratch X over it and it didnt help....

My dads Vette has some parts that are like that.

I'm gonna try the Meguiars 3 step on it and see how it comes out.

Formula 113 will hide them, but not remove them. It looks better though, removed or hidden

I just bought Meguairs Gold Class! Its reallllllly good stuff.


Its not actually the whole hatch area, just like a spot by the spoiler. Almost like someone whiped it with a slightly hard cloth or something. You can only see it if you put your eye on the surface level of the paint with some light hitting it.



Gotta love black!

Update-


Meguairs #9 swirl remover on an oribital buffer followed by a coat of Gold Class. Id say a 85% success rate.

I just got two small ones left. No one would be able to see them unless they were looking for them, But I know they are there, must destroy them!
