I have always used automobile carnauba wax on woods and metal woods. Great for shine but probably not much help on scratches.

There are automotive products that hide scratches and also very light rubbing compounds that bring back color on automotive finishes. Get one that says safe for clear coat. These might help. The best these will probably do is remove the ball paint and clean the dirt out of the scratch which will make it less noticeable. Follow up with a couple coats of the carnauba taking care not to leave white deposits in the scratches will make the finish shinier over all and also the scratches less noticeable.

Since I detail cars for a side job, I own a Makita Rotary Polisher which I've used in conjuction with some Menzerna Polishes to polish all my drivers and also my brothers. They come out VERY nice.

If the scratches are deep, you may be able to REDUCE them a little with some Color X or Scratch X by hand, but I doubt you will generate enough heat to remove them 100%...
