Well can you feel them with your fingernail? "Scratches" is a very broad term, believe it or not

Lol, no matter what you do, you`re technically hurting the paint because you remove some when you polish it ;)

If you can`t even feel them with your finger nail, you could probably get away with just using a little bit of Meguiar`s Scratch-X, and buff them out by hand. Just remember to read the instructions, and use as directed.

That`s amazing, it works great on TV, let me see if I can find an appropriate smiley... :shocked:shocked
Try some Blue Magic metal polish on a soft cloth and go over it with some wax. If it`s just a small scratch that should get you to the point where it`s very hard to see and if it`s more than that you probably shouldn`t be cutting that deep anyway.
