Been busy elsewise, but got to work on the XF for a couple of hours today. Targeting the scratches on the wing and the panel beneath it. Looks like someone tried to polish these by hand using something harsh, and while the car was dirty. So lots of very light scratches, some moderate, and a few fairly deep.

Picked up a tube of Meguiar's Scratch X 2.0 at WM. The instructions are very sparse on it. Definitely shake it well and often! As written elsewhere by others, basically this is very fine grit wet sanding.

I still will likely spend another couple of hours on them, but the surfaces look much better. The very light scratches and some of the moderate are gone, and the bad ones are better. The Scratch X seems almost identical to the liquid Turtle Wax polish I used 30 years ago, which also gave good results after days of elbow grease. But I'll quit soon since I don't want to cut through what's left of the clearcoat.
