How deep are the scratches? More than likely you will need a high speed buffer and some sort of compound for machine use.

start off with a SUPER mild polish, say, meguiars scratch remover 2.0 and use a decent buffing wheel.. If that doesn't work, post again..

I know the thread is dead, but I want to just post for anyone who searches it in the future.

I had the Supra at a shipyard and somehow those idiots got overspray from a paint booth ALL OVER my car. So there were speckels of red paint completely covering the car.

Using the simple formula above, we got the overspray off in about 3 hours, then a coat or two of polish on it in about 2 hours, and the thng looked brand spanking new.
