If it is deeper, precede with fine grades of good quality sand paper, followed by polishing steps. We use the finest grade that will remove the scratch in a "reasonable" time, then progressively finer. 600, 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000, 2500, then restoration kit seems to work. The finer you can start, the less you have to do with following grits. LOTS of water and clean off all residue before next step. Good Luck UH
