Default Evening out paint after touch ups

I filled in allot of paint chips in the last week. Whats the best way to get the little sand scratches from the light sand? Will a light duty rubbing compound be to harsh? I heard from some of you guys to use Meguires Scratch X which is a little less harsh on the paint. Thoughts?

I would try the Meguires Scratch X first. It should take care of it!

Scratch-X is what I was going to recommend. Works well for light scratches. May take multiple applications, then a coat of wax.

Get some 1500 grit 3M or Dupont buffing compound, the liquid not the paste.

It won't hurt the clear if you go easy and will take out the scratches.

Then hit it with the deep crystal then wax.
