Don't buy into their mumbo jumbo. Any 3M rubbing compound (light rubbing compound) will remove 1200 - 2000 grit sand marks off of any kind of clear. Scratch resistant only goes so far. The power of the buffer will not only cut well with a good grade rubbing compound but the heat it generates will help soften the paint making it easy to cut into it well.
Then you have to use a polish afterward with a polish pad to remove the buff marks and to fully restore the shine.

Just finished detailing my 09 BO today. It took about 12 hours. First cleaned interior, washed exterior followed by clay barring, taped trim, and then I used my Porter Cable with Menzerna Super Intensive Polish, orange cutting pad, followed by Blackfire's Wet Diamond All Paint Protectant. The scratch shield paint is pretty soft and delicate, it's easy to scratch if you don't use the right rags (micro fiber). It's safe to polish your 09, mine turned out great just a pain to maintain black. The Wet Diamond made by Blackfire is pretty awesome. It makes your paint look wet. Hope this helps.

So, is it ok to use a power buffer on the scratch shield paint? I got a couple scratches on my rear bumper that are clear coat only but too deep to self-heal.
Is there a thread with special directions for power buffing our fancy paint?
