Default scratch removal
got a bit carried away getting bird crap off the car at the gas station, and ended up with two separate inch-long scratches in the clear coat. not deep - can't feel them really with a fingernail. any recommendations on removal? buff out? product to use? thanks all...

Default 3M Swirl Remover. It may take 2-3 applications to remove the scratch.
Wax afterwards.

Default I'd add to that, use 3M IHG, then wax. The IHG really polishes up after the SMR much better than
SMR alone.
