If they are just surface scratches I use Autoglym resin polish, its not as harsh as T-Cut and also leaves a polished finished on the Surf.
I have found that keeping a good coat of polish on the paint work also helps to protect it against minor scratches.

I've been known to use MER on them. Again, its no so hard as t-cut and polishes the car up too.

As Koi says it is best never to use T cut if poss especially on metallics/basecoat and clear paintwork . Due to its compound it leaves the paint soft and open to flattening . Do as Koi says and use a good quality polish as this offers a protective coat to the paint . If the scratch is deep a light use of Mettallic T cut could be used but then finish with a polish .
I have removed many a deep scratch bodyshops quote a resray on just with a little elbow grease . Elbow grease is not available in tins !!

Good luck

Milners do aerosol cans if you give them the paint code.

Colour Magic always works for me. but dunno how it works on clearcoat.

i gave up bothering, i find 1 scratch more noticeable than thousands.

SO do I, works well on metallic blue. Also according to Which (sad I know!!) it gives protection for the longest period of over all the others tested.
