[EDIT: BTW, etching will still feel completely smooth to the touch.]

If you place yor hand in a thin plastic bag (baggie test) you can feel the indentation of an etched clear coat

Well it seems like regardless, your wheels are ****ed. Did you talk to the place where you bought your car from yet?

And Meguiar's Ultimate Compound should be at most Auto stores. I think Autozone definitely has it.
