Default Removing small scratches

Does anyone have any good advice on how to remove small scratches and swirl marks. Ive look in the detailing section, but idk what all the different pastes and Zanio's they use. Can anyone clearify, and maybe point me in the right direction?

chemical guys/ adam's polish (same stuff ) i've heard works well. Zaino is something to apply by hand. I am switching from zaino to adams to get some minor swirl marks i can see under flurocent lights out. Just ordered a porter cable 7424. Zaino's scratch/swirl remover will just cover up/hid scratches. Brings out the shine were during the day you cant see them but in night when the lights are on you will see them
