Autoglym SRP mate (super resin polish) i would clay your car first then use some SRP then use a good wax like collinite 915

or buy yourself a machine polisher

everybody uses clay,please enlighten me,what is it,how much,is it a trip to halfords for it all,or is ebay cheaper

Meggies paint cleaner, i would use before the claying, this deals with quite harsh scratches..

Before my health probs, I used to wash, then colour polish (to hide any scratches) then use Meguiars Gold, throw the duster on any flat surface after and it just slides off the car.
Never used Clay either but keep hearing about it, had a decent selection at Halfords.

i used to use some great polish that matched the colour of ya car,i forgot what it was called,but you had to get the closest match to your colour,plus like you said grumpy it did hide the lightish scratches
