So what would anacs do with this...

A coin that would be an ms66, but has light parallel hairlines, mostly in the left obverse field, from a wiping. You really have to look for them and hold the coin at the correct angle to see them, otherwise it just looks like a nice ms66. I doubt pcgs would grade it though. How would anacs grade it?

Unc. Details net ______ "scratched" or "cleaned" (dependinging on how bad the hairlines are)

Any chance at something like "ms66 detail, net ms63"?

Nope just unc details net AU or something along those lines.

I think that there is good chance the NGC and perhaps PCGS would grade that coin if the wipe lines can only be seen from an odd angle. I have sold gold coins that looked like MS-63+ - 64 that were in MS-62 holders. Quite often that's what the MS-61 and 62 graded coins are. They are "super-duper sliders, or they are coins with that kind of minor damage. These coins can have very good overall eye appeal, and given the grade, can sell at attractive prices. Some collectors find that acceptable.

As for ANACS, they would probably net grade the coin to MS-63 or so.

I've never seen an ANACS net graded coin in anything higher than MS60. With that in mind, I think your coin would probably be graded "UNC Details Net MS60 Cleaned".
