I had some imperfections in my motorcycle paint so I used some Meguiar's Scratch-X (by hand) to get rid of them. It did, but now tiny micro scratches are left in those areas from the Scratch-X. When the sun is on them, they really stick out. What product would be a step down in terms of abrasiveness that would work to return these scratched areas back to a crystal clear gloss? Since the Scratch-X is supposedly an ultra-fine abrasive, I would think the next product to use would almost have to be something as mild a cleaner wax...unless there's another polish that has even a finer abrasive than the Scratch-X that I don't know about...any ideas?

This may help if you want to stay within one family of products:

Note:
I add Meg's Ultimate Polish to the far right-hand side of this Meguiar's line-up.
Although UP is a "mild" polish...I could be wrong in that placement.
