[FSPA] deep ball trails/dremel?

[Deb Kapke]

I'm not sure that I'd call Magic Erasers extremely abrasive, but they do work like a super-fine sand paper sponge. So, yes, they are abrasive.

They're made of melamine foam -- almost glass-like microscopic filaments with a flexible structure. They feel like a sponge and not very scratchy to the touch. 

I'd imagine a Dremel is pretty abrasive to a certain extent too.

If it's like an inlane groove or something localized and fairly hidden you could try the dremel.  You could also try Novus 3 but realize it's going to cut through the clear coat pretty quickly.
