Bump. I'm curious if it's possible to get a defect free finish.

Re: Correcting a 'wheeled hard' Jeep
Some of those scratches wont come out, as they look to have gone through the paint, and into the primer.
I think a glass polish would make your windshield 10x better, but not defect free.
You don't need to buy a paint thickness gauge, as you are going to be selling the car anyways.
TBH, I don't think you will be able to do much without a DA or something stronger than a drill.

You will not get the Jeep 100%. Not even 90%. Some of the scratches require a repaint.

I can accept that. How do I judge how far I can take it? and would you agree that a rotary is required for this work? Any other recommendations?

If you see white instead of red, that scratch will never be fixed. White is primer.
No, a rotary is NOT required. In fact, considering you are new, do NOT buy or use a rotary. It is not something you want to just pick up and go at your car with.
Pick up a DA orbital polisher like the PC 7424 XP. You will need a pretty aggressive combo for your car, so what I would recommend is Meguiars Porter Cable Ultra Polish Kit with 5.5 Inch Pads, Meguiar's Mirror Glaze Polishing Kit, Meguiars polishes, Porter Cable 7424 Mirror Glaze

Re: Correcting a 'wheeled hard' Jeep
FWIW, Ceriglass on LC 5" Glass Cutting Discs didn't make any visual improvement and actually added some very fine scratches to the glass. I spent a lot of time trying to work one window and then even one small spot and had no luck whatsover. I would be buried in a pine box before having a chance or correcting the windows with this method
These new fine scratches couldn't be taken out with orange cutting pads and Ceriglass. I can't logic how this could work for anyone.
I did a small section of the body with M105 on a LC orange foam pad and my rotary. Huge improvement on the paint. I'm impressed with this stuff.

I have been told that if the scratch catches your finger nail it is too deep to fix completely.
