My 90 GST has small scratches all over the fenders and rear spoiler. You can't feel the scratches and can't really see them unless you get close. How would I get these scratches out? I know white is the hardest color to work with and I don't want to mess the car up worse than it is. I have a 6" Buffer/Polisher I can use if I need to. What products would I need and how would I go about removing the scratches? Heres a picture of the rear spoiler where its the worst, the ones on the fenders didn't even really show up in a picture. Thanks for any help/tips.

White is not the hardest colour to work with, it's the easiest. If your car was ANY other colour, the scratches would be very visible compared to what they are now. White hides everything. Hit it with a polisher and some compound and you should be good.
 
I meant that most of the time white is literally the hardest paint compared to other colors. I'll try that out tomorrow and hopefully it helps a little bit.
