Default What can I use for clear coat scratches?

I was debadging my car and the person helping me used a paper towel to remove the adhesive. Now you can see where the A4 badge was, because the area around it is dull.

Goo Gone would have been a better choice, then polish and wax the area.

Default 3M Finessett II...

works great and won't damage clear coat. If the scratches are a bit deeper, you can try their Perfect-It II product - a bit more abrasive from what I understand, but I've used them both without problems.
