New paint problem

I just found a figure 8 mark on my Drivers door. I tried Mequires swirl remover with my buffer at slow speed and it did not remove it. What else should I do?

i would just go ahead and pay to have it detailed. and have any and all small flaws like that removed. youll be amazed how nice it can look afterwards.

You need a product with more grit than swirl remover.

depends on how deep the scratch is.....if its not too bad, try Meguiars #3 buffing compound with your buffer at a higher speed. Make sure that you don't burn the paint!! I would not wet sand it unless you have experience.
