That's correct Mike, any abrasive will show scratch(swirl) marks on a former gloss finish when the sun hits it. Maybe a product like Prepsol or another cleaning solvent with isopropoyl alcohol. Like above, test a small area.

I dont think anything will work..you can never replace a sprayed finish with any kind of rubbing..its impossible to make all the tight areas uniform..bite the bullet and do it the right way..the car deserves it!
