1500 grit to 2000 grit then i buffed it away with my PC7424.. took hella long...
i actually used a buffer along with scratchx.. cause i did some research on the meguiar's forum and supposedly it'll take away the etchings but you can still slightly see it. that didn't help much. it actually made the etchings more noticeable.

Got quoted 350$ to do mine by the people who painted vipTLs car purple...

ScratchX is more of a light polish, try something along the lines of Menzerna Intensive Polish or Prima Swirl.
