I use 3M Imperial™ Hand Glaze followed by a coat of One Grand Blitz Carnuba Wax.

The Hand Glaze fills minor surface scratches and swirls. They also have a 3M machine glaze but for the amount of area that needs attention on a bike you can do it by hand. The Blitz wax is just a wax not a wax/cleaner.

Been using this combo for years with excellent results.
