I'd think, with flametops, the problem is a bit more delicate.

Perhaps a light buffing would help. Or filling it in with clear coat finish. I'm not sure that would help much.

If you can't live with it, i'm with Godofrythm on this:

1. Drop one small drop of clear coat in the pit
2. Let it dry
3. Repeat step 1 + 2 until pit has turned into a tiny bump instead
4. Wet sand with grit 1500 until bump is gone and all is level
5. Let it dry for 2-3 days
6. Apply rubbing compound by drill with foam pad
7. Apply polish by drill with foam pad
8. Play the goddamnthing! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I'd just go directly to step #8.

Ditto! I would say it's getting broken in. Although, the first couple dings are the most heartbreaking.
