Would you believe LP Aero had a seminar at Sun-n-fun on polishing out
scratches......
I guess the quick answer to your problem is that they mentioned not
concentrating on the scratch when you're trying to remove it. Even if
you've got a small scratch you need to polish an area 2 or 3 inches bigger
than the scratch for the first pass and then expand out even further for
subsequent passes. It's suppose to cut down on the halo effect you
mentioned. You might try sending them an email to see if they have any "how
to" instructions. Their web site is http://www.lpaero.com/
