Default Soft paint is a pain for the eye!

I need your help with a polish pad or method that can reach this narrow pass through. I cant even enter my car without trimming my claws:-(

I would recommend http://www.meguiarsdirect.com/product/4717 Meguiars Fine Cut Cleaner and hand rub it out M0216, or possibly the Medium Cut Cleaner

Just a small little foam pad and a hand polish like Meguiars Scratch X will do the job.

I have door handle cups on my doors to prevent scratches like these.

I also have two small scratches on my LP bumper and fender. Tried NO7 white polishing compound first on my MB and it took the scratches out with no problem. Tried it on the GS and didn't do anything to remove the scratches but seemed to dull the finish a little.
Anyone actually use the Megulars Fine Cur Cleaner and if so can you post exactally the procedure you used?

TIA

Ok thx, researching you suggestions. Didnt know about the cup thingy.


I left it at my recond agent who usually maintains my car both in and out with god results. But he couldnt do much. He said pads are too big and is not reaching enough heat to smooth the paint. He is using mainly rotary or dual action polish machine. How about Oscillating? Multitools can reach those areas theoretically. Any exp?
