Never hand polish/wax in a circular motion. Always with the contour of the tank, fenders etc.
Use microfiber towels.
If you have a dark color, use Meguirs #26 yellow wax after you polish. Zymol Carbon for black or dark finishes.
Polish cleans and restores the finish, wax protects.

I too have used ScratchX on my bike and truck for light scratches in the paint. I use PlastX on the bike windshield with great results. I use RainX on all GLASS parts. Do NOT use RainX on windshield.

RE: maguires scratch x
Used it this past weekend on both cars.
Took serious tree stains off mine and really removed some scratches on my wife's (some light and some a bit deeper).
I think the secret is to use a small amount, not as much as if it were wax or polish.
And I did smaller areas at a time, eg. hood, fender, door - not the whole car at once.
Followed with Meguiar's Gold Class wax.

Scratch X rocks. Just used it to clean the Clear COat on my '02. Looked for a long time for an old-school product that used mild abrasives to polish. Lots of the products are non-abrasive and fill the scratches with "something". A Glaze is a good example. THe scratch X will actually buff out small scratches and stains from the clear coat. It takes a little elbow grease and it worked better by hand than by using a buffer- but I have a cheap a$$ non-random buffer.
After the Scratch X, the paint appears to be factory fresh- improved the clarity and gloss. I have a $20 bottle of 3M Imperial Hand GLaze which fills the scratches with a polymer or something- didn't even use it- paint (clear coat) looks GREAT.

Tried Scratch X last year on vivid black which was full of swirl marks. After some elbow grease the paint almost looks good as new. Very deep and smooth color. Definitely recommend.
