PC Scratch Removal

I got a pretty nasty bumper brushburn on the side of my E90 (silver). I purchased a PC and the "Sonus Scratch Removal" kit, which included a 4: yellow pad and some Sonus Scratch removal liquid. I used it and then followed it with Klasse AIO (using an orange Sonus PC pad).

This was my first time using a PC. I got out most of the brush burn and did no damage to the unaffected areas (whew!). However, I'd like to do better without damaging the clear coat or paint.

Question: Is there any polish that is slightly more abrasive than Klasse AIO or Sonus Scratch Remover that might get out the rest of the scratch without ruining the unaffected areas?

Yeah--before people start yelling--pics would help.

Ask Picus or DavidN--they are the gurus....

my local detailer told me that silver is very easy to buff out. it should be that bad after the scratch remover. try going to detailer if you cant buff it out. good luck
