These are independent guys that work at many car dealerships. They repair small dings and scratches on new cars before their sold. I've used them several times to repair small scratches. I once got a check from an insurance company and took the car to one of these guys and it was a fraction of what the insurance paid. I kept the rest of the money

Are they similar to the ones in this video?

If so, then a Flex 3401 and M105 or SIP can remove them.

Try some Duragloss #101 which has polishing agents to remove fine scratches and spiderwebbing. The #111 is all sealant with zero cleaning power and is non abrasive(stated on box).
o nono not even close to that bad maybe 20 percent of that?
If you're having trouble with scratches try meguiars M105. It is a heavy duty polish that'll remove everything even by hand and leaves no scratches. Truly a revolutionary product that blows older compounds away. You can't even call it a compound since it's so different, but it does work. It can even remove 2000 grit sanded areas and turn it into a very glossy finish in one step, most people except the truly fussy would call the finish it leaves perfect.

What would be the process for using this product with a PC7424? More specifically, since it's a one-stage process, what pad would you use for this single stage?

It is unlikely for you to be able to use M105 as a one-stage product. I would try it with a LC Flat White pad, but on many paints even this combination will cause some micromarring and will require a follow-up with D151 or M205.

I use M105 with a PC very frequently and get good results. M105 is not really a stand-alone polish. You need to follow it up with a milder polish like M205. Both polishes are designed to work together to give great results. I have used them many times over the past couple years.
M105 + PC works best with an orange light cutting pad. The white pad doesn't have enough bite. You can final polish with M205 and a white pad if you want.
Speed 6, heavy pressure, small area (12" x 12"), work it as long as you need to, give the area a squirt of water to maintain polishing action, brush out pad every 2-3 polishing sessions, replace pad every panel or two depending on cut.
This is not easy Sunday afternoon work. You'll be wasted unless you are in excellent physical shape. I usually look like I've been hit by a truck after a couple hours of polishing. Have fun!

If you can't wait for your M105 to arrive, buy Ultimate Compound from your nearest Walmart. In a pinch, it can be substituted for M105. On darker paint, you will need a finer polish afterward though.
I ran out M105 this year and picked up UC and I am able to achieve similar results with UC.
