In my case the area had been Xpel coated a year-ago and I guess they were scratches/swirls I introduced into the coating. I followed up the correction with an IPA wipe down and some Adam’s ceramic coating which is curing now. Everything seems to be in good shape as far as I can tell, will let people know if I discover any issues.

Only area I did was top of trunk lid where the imperfections had been bugging me. Attached is an after photo; I forgot to take before. You probably wouldn’t be able to spot anything anyway from this photo except you can see how amazing the gloss looks.
Looks good!
