So my car is a single stage white paint. Yea, it sucks. What options do I have to remove scratches without burning the paint. I have done the #7 technique and waxed etc, :buffing: but there are still scratches that bug me. What can be done to remove some of the more noticeable ones?

This article will tell u everything you need to know about single stage paint and what to do to take care of it and polish it. It's a long read but absolutely the best information you can get.

As far as scratches color sand is an option but you know how much pain you have it's a very risky one and not worth the chance unless you can get a paint thickness gauge
 
I used that article, thus doing the #7 polish and all. The problem is single stage white is such a hard paint. I can not find any good info on how to remove scratches on that specifically.
 
In order to remove a defect that is in the paint, for example a scratch, you must remove all of the paint surrounding the scratch until the surface is level with the lowest depth of the scratch. You could look at removing below surface defects as a leveling process. The problem with removing below surface defects in single-stage white paint is two-fold: Single-stage white paint is hard and automotive paints tend to be very thin.

The more the merrier. You'll get more thread input by utilizing good photos of the defects.
