Default Zaino scratch help needed

Hey everyone, I put a light scratch on the side of my black GMC Sierra, and for the first time my Zaino ZPC scratch and swirl remover has failed me. I was able to get the scratch out, but now there are micro swirls down the length of the scratch. I used 100% cotton towel and Zaino ZPC to work the scratch by hand and the small strokes I made with the ZPC are visible. The marks are only visible under direct light. At first glance the marks look like finger marks. I've never used any other scratch or swirl remover so I'm hesitant as to what I need to do next. I'm a perfectionist, and these marks make me sick. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Did you follow ZPC with anything after? Next step would probably be Z5 followed by Z2. You might also need to use a machine polisher the like the Porter Cable or Flex to get "perfection".

Good Luck.

You might need a more aggressive polish like Menzerna SIP and perhaps even a buffer to apply and remove the polishes of choice.
