One of the good things about the 1Z stuff is that it works OK by hand (it's the only line I recommend for by-hand use). Try to be gentle with the Pasta Intensiv if you use *that* by hand; the initial bite of the abrasives can leave some *really* nasty scratches that you won't be able to correct very easily.

I don't mean to say that you *can't* use that stuff by hand, but -man-oh-man you really do need to be careful. Maybe the Paint Polish will do the job...that stuff is great by hand, but it's so mild that you might have to do a given area numerous times.
