Looks great! Question for you folks that understand and appreciate proper paint correction.

I bought my sapphire black f10 m5 used. The dealership I bought it from did a "descent" job of correcting any micro swirling, however, the car does have random, deep, hairline scratches throughout the vehicle. I am planning a paint correction this upcoming spring.

I suspect that even wool pad and aggressive compound won't correct some of these scratches. My only other option is wet sanding but I am hesitant because I don't want too much clear removed where it would compromise the longevity of the clear coat.

Do you guys use any paint/clear coat depth gauges? If so, what do you recommend the readings to be at before and after wet sanding and compounding?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
