Get some car magazines or books on auto body work and read how to do it or you can really screw it up. Then go to an automotive paint supply store and get the right pads and compounds. There are hundreds of each all for different situations. Throw yourself on the mercy of the counter guys and tell them what you want to do, then let them guide you to the right stuff. You might even get in touch with Epifanes and see if they have recommendations. If you jump in without some research bad results are almost sure to ensue. You'll probably have to wet sand to get good results. If you've got scratches buffing won't take them out, you'll only make shiny scratches.
