    RIDS.

    105/orange...
    ...then, either go more aggressive (wool or wetsand) or leave well enough alone.

    I usually opt for leaving well enough alone on dd's.
    Got any glazes on hand?

    Well if you really want to get rid of RIDS you can buy matching color paint, put it in the scratch, let it dry, wet sand it then buff it and seal it.

    Don't forget to prep the surface removing any oils, polishes, glazes or LSPs from it first.

    Not necessarily the product (M105) that needs to be more aggressive, but the methodology.

    Since you were using the GG machine, it may be wise to have a backup method for that machine...how about MF cutting pads? They have been proven to be more aggressive than foam.
    I have and use both the PC and the rotary...now I need to try out the optimum lineup with MF pads. Gotta keep up with the industry.

    Either go with LC Yellow pad (which is very aggressive)
    Or as mentioned - MF cutting pad

    if it's just one little RIDS, my suggestion is let it stay, so you can keep you clear coat thicker..

    I would learn to live with it. Your clear is already thin to begin with. In my opinion its not worth the trade off trying to remove them.
