Fine Scratches - How to Remove?

I have fine scratches on my car due to some dust that got under my car over over the winter (cover was off an on the car too much). The car is black, with about two year old non clear coat paint. Would a wax like Zaino or Formula 113 take these out?

The scratches are very fine, but being a black car, they show more than I can stand. I've used Zaino before and was happy with the results, only using the Z3. This was before the scratches, and I'm out of Z3.

I was considering trying the Z5 or Formula 113, will these work? I tried a search, but really ended up with Formula 113/Zaino debates. Not sure what to use.

Don't you have to use the whole Zaino system for best results?

I would try Formula 113, that helped my swirl marks a lot. It doesn't fix them though, just fills them in I believe. Your best bet is buffing them out with compounds and such.

Try Mequires scratch X.. it removes the fine scratches that buffing wont remove.
