Finally found one on CL for $15. Has fine scratches so I bought Meguires 'PlastX' which did not work on removing the scratches. Before I go out buying more products can someone recommend me on what product/ home remedy should I use. Thanks.

You will have to use something more aggressive and those fine scratches are hard to get out on the a pilliars once they have them. I used a hand grade rubbing compounds then waxed them afterwards. You will still get very fine scratches on the scratched up used pieces, it not like body paint.
