When I got my X, it had very small circular scratches throughout the hood that i think the previous owner or the dealership caused by over buffing or something. Not sure. I think they can be taken out (theyre not deep, I think just in the clearcoat). What products/ techniques do you guys recommend?

I have those everywhere on my X, and I washed/waxed it today and there still there.

I think Meguiar's SCRATCH X will help, but I havent tried it yet.

Check out the Zaino site, they have some products that work very well.

I used to to use Meguiars scratch X on my other car. I had some swirls/scratches on the trunk lid. The Meguiars didnt really do anything. I applied by hand though, you might have better results with a buffer.
