Got me some collinite #845. I'm amazed by how easy it is to apply and how little it uses. Really nice gloss, used it after a foam wash with chem guys honey dew, clay bar and shining monkey clean and repair polish. Will have to see how long it lasts.

Where has it?

Hey man, ordered it off amazon. Couldn't find it locally. Well worth it IMO.

looking for a solution to fix a botched buff job (against my advice) on a black 2014 corolla which resulted in FUARKING SWIRLS.

You may have to micro buff it back

[hyperdude]

I believe I saw some products that may remove scratches
at Glenn's Super Shop in Montrose..

The autoglym took out some minor water spots. But to remove scratches I use the griots garage glass polish and pads
