Claying the car will remove surface contaniments, but will not remove scratches. For this, you will need an orbital with a fine polish, such as Maguire's Scratch X or comparable. After claying the paint, go over each panel a couple of times with the fine polish on an orange pad. Once scratches are removed, it's time to wax with your favorite product (there are many and I think it's a personal decision).

My car is black, so after I wax, I top off with a coat of 3M hand glaze. Stand back and put on the shades!
