megs ultimate compound is easy to use by hand. There are plenty of other products out there as well. Just depends how much you want to spend. Megs UC is pretty cheap and does a good job.

to get best results (dry inbetween stages using microfibre cloth)
wash car
clay bar car
wash again
use megs uc
rinse car
wax.

pick yourself up a megs clay kit too, awesome bit of kit and gets all the tiny little impurities off your paint work before you polish, otherwise you're likely to pick them up and rub fresh scratches into the paint as you polish

And by megs UC he means ultimate compound :)

Megs Scratch X is good for the removal of fine scratches. You could always have a yarn to the Megs tech area.
