it all depends on the depth of the scratch. Also, any compound no matter how good it is doesnt work that well when applied by hand. You have to use a buffer in most cases to get the best outcome. As far as compounds go, most anything is good, i havent use a bunch of different companies to say whats good and what isnt. I would think, any name brand compound from a parts store would do just fine, but agian, putting it on by hand only goes so far (that is assuming you dont have a buffer) ---

If it’s in the clear, some ScratchX or Scratch Doctor should work. I prefer Poorboy’s SSR2.5 for Swirl Marks and Light Scratches. Won’t find it at Wal-Mart or Pep Boys though. Of course, I use the SSR2.5 with a Porter Cable 7336 DA Polisher.
