Not by hand it won't... Skyboi here... Couple of issues... I made a ton of money from guys that "tryed doin it myself with a little compound" leading to an entire double buff.
1. As far as you know the bubbles in the fresh paint could be down to the surface of the old paint...problem
2. trying to rub it out by hand....You'll have a blotchy mark in your clear coat where you scuffed it up...I know what your thinking...I'll do the whole panel...Nah, not gonna make it. that panel will look like a dogs breakfast when you done if you do it by hand. It will look great at first but when the wax dries you'll go insane.
3. using a machine will straighten it out but you'll hact to do the whole vehicle in order to have a clean look.
Now let's be realistic. you'll never eliminate the presence of a scratch but you can minimize it. If your not confident with buffing with a high speed buffer...bite the bullet and let a pro do it.
He'll build up the scratch and buff it down.
Up Up and away.........
