Help with buffing a scratch

I managed to put a scratch on the hood of my 02 EB vert. I couldn't feel it with my nail so I buffed it with my RO, a LC Orange pad and Menzerna IP but it didn't get it out. I had some NXT intermediate swirl remover and tried that as well. After about an hour it is better but if you get the light just right you can still see it. It kinda has a deep look to it but as I said you can't feel it. Any suggestions on something a little more aggresive to try....with my orbital? I don't have a rotary and I'm not comfortable using one yet.

Thanks!!

Meguiars Ultimate Compound would be another option that can be found locally.

You may want to also try it by hand with a foam applicator.

get a tube of Meguiars Scratch X, if this stuff doesn't remove the scratch then it is too deep and you risk clear damage.

Menzerna SIP , Megs 105 are certainly nice choices ...
