Its not quite as easy as a polish will get rid of scratches and stonechips etc . The rule is that if a chip or scratch can be felt with your finger nail , it wont polish out .

To get rid of chips and heavier scratches , I will get a touch up pen and fill the scratch . Then wetsand with 1500grit and then 2000 grit and maybe 2500, then buff the section back , getting rid of stone chip .

A polish such as Auto Glym SRP will 'fill' some of the lighter scratches and swirls but dont expect it to fill every scratch .
