just washed my car now there are 2 small marks left by light rubbing compound

these are very light marks left from when I used a little rubbing compound to get out some paint left on my door from some idiot who parked too close to me

how do i buff these out

or do I polish then wax it..

This might work: http://www.langka.com

The abrasives in the rubbing compound left the marks. You will need to use a milder abrasive to polish out the marks. Try a scratch or swirl remover on the area. Then polish and wax. I don't think the Langka product is what you want as it removes touch-up paint which doesn't apply in your case.

The Langka also works very nicely as a swirl mark remover. I've used it several times in that manner.

Best,
Bill
