I am new to detailing in that I received a 7424 for Christmas and my past experience has been using Klasse AIO and SG by hand on my VW Passat. I just bought a 2007 Acura TSX with minor swirl marks and a few scratches on the trunk. The scratches are about 2-3" long and I can barely feel them with my fingernail. After reading numerous posts, I've accumulated the following products and I'd like some advice on a product to add for removing the scratches.



Clay Magic clay

Menzerna PO87MC

Menzerna PO91E

Sealant - either Z-2/ZFX or WG Deep Gloss

6.5" white and green pads

4" orange and white spot pads
 
In my opinion I would recommend always having a Polishing Compound and medium polish in your arsenal. Menzerna Polishes are excellent. I like SIP and Powergloss compound is good but dusts like mad. Optimum Compound is pretty good as well. Sounds like you have finishing polishes. Nothing sucks more than starting your car and realizing that your polish is not aggressive enough to handle the job. Hope this helps

Thanks for the suggestions. I am struggling with which medium polish to use given what I am reading about the soft paint characterstics of my Acura. I don't want to over do it on these scratches.
