Hi King, the paint cleaner I sell is a "mild abrasive"> what will it do? when you have a mare or minor surface scratch, many times a cleaner can effectively smooth out the paint so it is less noticeable. imagion the valley of the scratch. and the walls or sides are what is reflecting the light. (making it obvious to the eye.) When I use a high speed buffer for major defects, all I'm doing is "blending" or "leveling" the walls or sides of the valley (scratch) making it less noticeable. In the same theory, when you have a minor blemish, a gentle cleaner can sometimes do the same thing. However, since I can't see it, it is impossible to tell you what can or can't be done. remember my "less is best" remark? always start out with the less aggressive form first, like the paint cleaner, then kick it up if nesessary. p.s. Meguiars Paint cleaner is stronger then mine. That would be ther next step after a mild one. Cheers. Gary
