Debadging Scratches...

So i debadged my car today and all the adhesive is gone but the clear coat has all these little scratches. I was thinking buying Meguiar's Ultimate Compound to buff out the scratches. What do you guys recommend?

Reapplying? No, the light wet sand is on the clear coat just enough to get rid of any discoloration or scratches from removal of the badges. Once I buffed it out, it was nice and shiny. I guess I could have waxed it, but it is still shiny now.

yeah, I thought the same thing till I did some reading on how to get rid of the scratches. I have pics of before and after in my progress link in my sig. 1st page, just scroll down till you see them.
 


What i used was some Mineral Spirits. I had some surface scratches after I debadged and rubbed and rubbed. Smooth as a babys butt and no more scratches. Mineral spirits "ate" away some of the clear, but very very little, and made it smooth. Then I buffed with Turtle wax polishing compound. Man does it shine.
