Hey if you want to, pm with a pic of it and I can tell you what I think. I am a painter so I am no stranger to buffing LOL, and if your fingernail gets caught in the scratch thats a good sign that it might be a lil to deep to buff out. And I would use 3M products if you are going to try to buff out. But its hard to say without a pic of the scratch.

This is very true, but you really do not need to go all the way to 2500, 2000 would be fine, but so would 2500 if you want to save some time with your buffer. And 3M products all the way
