Meguiars has a few products for light scratches. You will most likely need a dual action orbital polisher or your arms will tire fast,

You can try to remove them by hand by using a scratch remover of medium polish but if they are every where you would need a dual action polisher.

Use the least abrasive compond first, then move up to a more aggresive if the least abrasive does not remove them,

I really hope you, at least, don't do it in that order; forget the products...

Wash, claybar, polish and then wax would be the correct procedure,
