Jim, you may have had good luck, but taking a car to a dealership for defect correction is like playing Russian roulette, except the gun only has one EMPTY chamber.
As far as I'm concerned, never, never, ever under any circumstances allow a dealership to touch your car. Never. Most of the time the guy who "fixes scratches" at the dealer is an employee - and not a very talented one. They're worse than having a body shop detail your car. Body shops fix damage and spray paint, they don't polish it to perfection. Body shops are production environments and are more concerned with how many cars they get out the door, not bringing the paint to a show car shine. That simply is not their job.
Max's suggestions are spot on (except that part about me being a God, that's just silly - but, ah, thanks anyway!). If you don't want to do this yourself by all means seek out a professional detailer. I highly recommend doing it yourself - it's not as hard as it sounds, the tools and products Max suggested are very easy and very safe to use, and there is great satisfaction in doing this yourself.
