Steve, welcome to
black car ownership.
My C5 Z06 (daily driver) is gorgeous...for about 30 minutes after I wash it.
And a really dark car will always show the finest of scratches...even from rubbing too hard with a micro-fiber towel. Trust me...I've seen it on my red SPF and every black 'Vette I've owned. It's a constant battle. And if you have flourescent lighting in your garage like most of us, oh gawd! Those will reveal everything!
Zaino makes an excellent product (Z5) that fills very minor scratches incredibly well. Since you have to multi-layer it, you have to be patient with the process. But it works very well and there are hardly any comparable products on the market that do the job as well. It's also quite durable and doesn't evaporate like a glaze will. I have also used NXT but it's not as durable and doesn't fill as well. But it's good for a quickie job.
If you want a quick and dirty solution, use a glaze like Meguire's #7. It will look great for about one week.
