Default Buffing Question

After 3 seasons of riding my vivid black tank has a couple scratches.

Tried ScratchX and it removed most of the the swirls and light scratches, but a couple are still there.

Not deep scratches but they are visible in high sunlight.

Thinking about buying a buffer and using either either ScratchX or light rubbing compound.

Any sugestions and techniques would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sammi
