Polish for a glossy black fit sport

I have a '11 Fit Sport with a glossy black paint job. As you probably know, black sucks because surface scratches and very visible. I would really like to get a high quality polish that helps hide most/all of those surface scratches before I get some wax on there. Any suggestions from someone who has done this successfully to their glossy black fit? Thanks!

doesn't take much. you need to use a mild polish like scratch x and a soft foam pad. you can start with an orange pad but finish using a red pad otherwise risk ending up with holograms.
add some glaze. then seal or wax it.

definitely use a random orbital to speed up the process for the polishing and some soft clay will help remove contaminants prior to polish. GL
