Sorry to bring up an old thread but this just happened to me. I was using the same Turtle Wax rubbing compound with a slight abrasiveness to it. I was initially using it to get rid of some faint hairline scratches but instead I added more light scratches and/or swirl marks. Lucky for me it is in a small area. How should I go about repairing this? I realized that I failed to apply the product with a damp cloth and I may have been using way too much pressure. I've also trying using some spray wax to cover it up and this didn't work.

Please help!

Doing it by hand is usually trouble. A good polisher and some Adam's swirl & haze remover followed by the fine machine polish will take the dull right out. Or, bring it down to a pro for a spot fix.
