Alot of folks have had good results from 3M Finesse II. I use Zaino Z5 and it works really well, especially after a couple of coats.

My 98 had swirl marks and very fine scratches... Z5 made them all invisible. I stand by Zaino, that would be my choice

I have a black 02 ws6 also. I bought it in June and it already has fine scratches all over it. THE CLEAR COAT ON THESE CARS IS CRAP!!! I hate seeing those scratches so much. I spent 3 hours cleaning the car yesterday, not that it needed it very badly. But I kept noticing all these small scratches. It ticks me off. I definately think people were right about the 02's being half assed by GM.
