Default help!!! Clearcoat has been scratched.

Long story short i got some "liquid nail" on my car and decided to remove it by 1500 grit sand paper and now my car has little white spots that is very noticeable anytime of day. i am DEVASTATED and amazed at how retarded i am at time. Any recommendations on we how or what i can do to buff out the scratches. I've tried Nu polish, scratch X, meguires and nothing works.

All the products you mention are worthless. You need to get more of an abrasive polish. If it's just in the clearcoat, i would get 2000 grit sand paper, wetsand that area until those spots go away. YOu will be left with a lot of tiny scratches from the sandpaper. Then go over that with a rubbing compound. Depending on what compound you use, then go over with an ultra fine polish to get the little scratches out, then use a finishing glaze.

yup 2000 grit wetsand the area very lightly.... then Sonus SFX1, SFX2, followed by SFX3 final finish... You need to polish it out, you can not wax it out... You have to be very carefull NOT to burn thru your clearcoat or then you will have to bring it to a body shop.
