Sorry guys I blew it, it was so easy, I forgot to take pics....but here's what happened:
The clear was dry enuf to use the pencil/paper above and a few quick turns and it was smooth enuf to start polishing...
then a spot of Meg's 105 Ultra Cut on a MF, and the extra clear outside the gash went away in about 10 strokes
then a spot of Meg's 205 Fine polish, another 10 strokes, and the gash is gone.
the one-two punch that cleans up everything:
I'm sure it's not up to spec with some of the perfectionists here, but I use the 6 inch rule:
If I can only see it at when I'm 6 inches from it, it's a success...LOL
