if it's what i think with out seeing the car up close is the finish is called checking . the scratchs you talked about are a very common with colors like silvers and if it is checking clear you could buff the finish until the cows come home and the finish will keep dyeing back .
there is no saving a dead finish some times you just have to strip the clear off the panels that are cheacked and refinish them .
now that if it is what i think it is ? but i'm sure it looked like some one took steel wool to the finish before you coklor sanded it ?
if its not and the finish is really not checked .
if your trying to compound the cars finish with a DA type buffer for get it !
they will not bring back the shin you would need a regular type of buffer if you color sanded the finish .
if your using the meguairs compound it's a oil based product and gives a false shin when buffing a panel that was color sanded . you woul;d want to pick a water based compound some like presta's cutting cream . it's i have stated many times before on here and the down sides to using oil based products . all they do is mask the true finish of what your looking for and the next day you end up with the finish looking like you did nothing at all .
look at it this way take some oil and wipe it on the cars panel it will look noce and shinny thats untill you wash the car or give it some time then it will look the same before you wiped the oil on it . oil based detail products do the same thing .
