Wax/polish composition... it really depends how "deep" these scratches are, plus black paint is very sensitive, vs white.
Water mist spray, then I use very gentle/fine paint polishing compound mixed with wax and final wax only.
Very slow rotary/circulus combined speed/movement., or by hand if no buffer.
