Im sure other members on here with more knowledge will have better answers, but I am fairly new myself and depending on how deep some scratches are you might have to step up to a orange pad and maybe a little more aggressive swirl remover. on my daily driver I used a cutting pad with megs ultimate compound.

he used Pinnacle XMT 360™ using:
5.5" Lake Country Orange Light Cutting Pads and then also the
5.5" Lake Country Yellow CCS Cutting Pads
for the rest of the Toyota using the Porter Cable 7424XP and Griot's Garage 6" Random Orbital Polisher.
Pinnacle XMT 360™
XMT 360 corrects, cleans, and seals auto paint! XMT 360 is more than a cleaner wax, its a swirl remover, polish, and paint sealant in one.
Directions:
Prep the vehicle by washing and drying it. Use Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo and then one of the Cobra Guzzler Waffle Weave Microfiber Drying Towels.
We recommend applying XMT 360™ with a Porter Cable 7424XP. For the best results, use the CCS Green Polishing/Finishing Foam Pad by Lake Country. Apply a quarter size amount of XMT 360™ onto the pad.
With the polisher turned off, spread XMT 360™ over a 2 x 2 sq. ft. section to avoid splatter.
Set the maximum speed at 5 on the Porter Cable 7424XP. Work XMT 360™ in a back and forth, overlapping motion.
Continue to polish even as the product dries. XMT 360™ disappears, leaving nothing on the paint but a clean, glossy shine. There is no need to buff.
Hope this helps
