Like Z5, BF protectant will fill very minor surface marring. My finish was prepped with Z2/Z5 until this marring was nearly gone. At this time I started the BF. It filled any remaining marring very, very well.

There is no substitution for SMR for anything deeper than a very minor surface imperfection. Since BF can be applied up to 3/day I would suggest selecting a panel and see if this will eliminate to your satisfaction these imperfections. If not move on to the BF polish first ( mild abrasive) If that does not work go to the SMR and re-apply Z and/or BF protectants.
