Leading edge scratches
I may have screwed up by using a scotch brite sponge to clean the bugs off my leading edges. Under direct light I see some fine scratches in the paint, but nothing deep. Is there any way to fix the scratches?

I have used Novus #2 Fine Scratch Remover on a damp sponge to remove fine scratches. Just use light pressure and a circular motion. Follow up with a non-silicone based wax.

I don't have the solution, but the prevention is the Aero Scrubber pads.
