Just discovered light scratches in clear coat, want to proceed with caution, advice?
Link to picture (Photo of worst scuff is this 3-4 inch diagonal one, looks much whiter/worse in this photo but is otherwise difficult to see/capture).
2 month old Audi w/ Brilliant black paint. Came out to car yesterday and discovered that someone had (probably) dragged a bag or something along side of car.
The scratches look like the kind you'd get if you rubbed a dirty car with your hand: they're not deep or even noticeable in most conditions but when the light hits them, they're there.
I've spent a couple hours researching and I'm inclined to think a very light polish/compound should handle them? Meguiar's 205 perhaps? I feel that 105 would be too strong an abbrasive.
Thoughts or advice? Really worried about creating even more scratches by approaching this too hastily.

Always start with the less aggressive polish and if that doesn't work move to the more aggressive. 105 is a big step so would try 205 first
However, make sure before you start you clay the spot to remove any surface contaminants.
