I will be REALLY angry if I have to repaint 3 panels because of these scratches - Dunno if some assh*le screwed with me or something on the road scraped and I didn't know.. Regardless, the damage is there....



I have hope because I was able to remove a lot of the scratches on the car by just rubbing NXT into it with a polishing pad by hand....



However, I do feel some of these scratches on certain areas while others I do not - the damage is on where the door meets the fender, right above the door handle, and where the door meets the bottom portion of the quarter panel...



If I can remove these completely or hide/touch them up so they are barely noticeable then I'll go with that but how the hell am I suppose to find somebody reputatable that will do a good job in South Florida?



Here are the pictures...

Please help, if you know anybody in South Florida capable - I don't care the cost, as long as it's not more than bodyshop work I'd really hate to repaint panels.
 
This sounds promising if only NXT by hand made improvement. If you don't have a PC, I would try a mild polish by hand using a foam pad first, then a terry cloth for extra cut if needed, once your through, you can reseal with the NXT. Assuming you get whatever car products you have locally, go to an auto body supply and paint shop for the best selction. They often will carry lots of products from 3m and Meguiars. I'm sure others will indicate what specific products to get locally. If you want to buy items availible online, I would reach for my 1z metallic polish first, then if needed, the paint polish and back to the metallic polish again working by PC. I do suggest 1z specifically though if you're going to work by hand.
 
AIO wont do anything for your swirls/scratches, extremely minimal if any, it just cleans the surface....scratch X might work tho...if not step up to a heaver cut cleaner....
