    The first three pictures look so deep that you may only be able to diminish - and not remove them. The last one is tough to say, but you might get that perfect.

    You will want to start with a product like Ultimate Compound, or ScratchX 2.0 for these. The orange pad is your best bet for your first pass or few.

    what machine are you using? What experience do you have (if any) with defect removal?

    What are the client's expectations?

        A client's car as your test bed? Understanding it's a PC, which is idiot proof, that doesn't seem like the best place to use it for the first time. Work with least aggressive to most aggressive, using different products/pad combos. What products do you have that you can use, seeing as you listed what pads you have in post #1.

            The first three look like they are all the way to the primer - probably not much you can do unless you want to actually paint / sand / paint / sand / ... / ... / polish.

              how about for my 2008s and 2009s. Would 105 and the 205 combo be too harsh? just minor swirls and scratches?

                Probably. Use 205, if that doesn't work go to SwirlX.
