Default Will this suffice?

My '07 has been a bird dump target the last couple of weeks. The remnants have left a residue in a couple of spots unable to be removed post water and vinegar soak.

I have read several posts lauding the effectiveness of the 3M fine-cut rubbing compound P/N 39002 (grade 1200) and set out earlier to find it. Unfortunately on my first pass I could not find this specific formula, but I did find 3M's rubbing compound P/N 03900 (grade 1500).

From their respective descriptions, they seem identical other than the starting grade of scratch (1200 vs. 1500).

Am I wasting my time with this version of the 3M rubbing compound or should it suffice for what I am attempting to accomplish?

Thanks for the direction!

There is not that much difference between them. Both abrasive polishes. Go ahead and try either one on the etched bird bombs....

Your headed in the right direction......
