Thanks Mike, Wim, and Paul, I currently don't have any buffing equipment and I'm not sure I want to get that in depth as my experience in polyester repair is elementary at best. Thanks for the offers of assistance. I may still call you, Paul, if this doesn't work out to my liking. I've done the fingernail test and I don't feel any deep scratches at all. In general, it feels very smooth but looks really bad. I'm going to start with the Meguires as I have that on hand and I have lots of experience waxing my wife's car. :-) Even a marginal improvement may yield glowing reviews from the choir director. Since I thoroughly enjoy praise and positive feedback, this should be beneficial for both of us! :-) I'll post the results with a before and after picture. Thanks!
