I have a couple decent sized clear coat scratches in my clear coat of a black car. What do you do to work it out? I was using Zaino Z5 polish and an orbital, no luck...and these are pretty superficial scratches. Any suggestions? GS-27?

For a black car, you really need to invest in a Porter Cable buffer. Menzerna, Poorboy's, 1Z, and Meguiar's all make very nice polishes.
Zaino didn't help you because it has no abrasives and only fills VERY minor imperfections.
Here are a couple of articles that may help you out:

Thanks for the tips my fellow masters in shine.
I think I have some old 3M laying around...If my elbow gets sore, may need to upgrade my orbital.
