Do you have any polish on hand? A polish is your first step.

TOGWT

Bear in mind that a clear coat has a thickness of 1.5 – 2.0 Mils, removing more that 0.3 mil (0.0003") of clear coat will cause premature paint film failure. As a point of reference two sheets of Saran wrap placed on top of each other measure 1.5Mil (0.0015") a surface scratch that will `catch' your fingernail is approximately 0.004" deep will usually require wet sanding and refinishing. There comes a point when you must judge wither removing a scratch will compromise the clear coat and if so you’ll have to ‘live’ with the imperfection

Are they light scratches? can you run your fingernail thru it? pics?

Jon, thats what I tell the owner of every black car I detail! In total, the rust inhibitor, primer, color coat and clear coat are about as thick as a peice of masking tape!
