No we don't. Just keep cleaning until you're happy.

It's called "rubbing compound." get the real stuff and stop paying 3 to 4 times as much for the stuff that your local friendly painter has by the bucket.

Honestly, I'm not all too familiar with various rubbing compounds, so I'm a bit hesitant to just run out and try a few. I've had bad experiences with two of them, so now I'm "scurred"....Anyhow, $5 for Scratch X.....meh, big deal!!! It's small, convenient and stows away nicely! Thanks though!

Always try the least abrasive first before you jump right in with rubbing compound.
