Wax won't do much to prevent micro scratches. They are normally a result of using a dirty rag to wipe down the paint, or dirt on the paint when you wipe it down.

3M makes a product called Microfina Perfect-it which is good for removing light scratches. I typically use Mequiar's Polish, then Microfina, then Mequiar's NXT wax. Keeps my VIvid Black looking great and pretty much scratch free.

I use meguiars scratchX for the micro scratches and then Klasse polymer wax which with light washing will last all season.

Zaino..........http://www.zainostore.com/ I've been using it for the past eight years, best stuff I've ever used, and their Z-8 detailer is unbelievable. Here's some photos from their customers.

Zaino all the way! I use it on my bikes, sleds, and truck....the detailer spray works good for a quick wipe down but all their products are top notch!

Meguiars scratchX will take out those washing scratches. Just need plenty of elbow grease. I used Meguiars #7 polish then their Liquid NXT and was very happy with the results.
