I've always found autoglym really good on paint https://www.halfords.com/motoring/car-cleaning/car-polish/-paint-renovator-325ml-448902.html
And the best polish afterwards -
Mr Sheen, I think I read that Mercian use it and it is very good on paint I've found.
SideshowBob-
Yeah Autoglym came up in my research but I decided to stick with T Cut for removing scratches because It's what I learned to use in the bike shop when we restored old rusty heaps. It's probably more aggressive than Autoglym to be honest, but I like how fast it works.
Mr Sheen is a great tip, thanks. I still think this RaceGlaze wax will be more durable, but I can always bust out the Mr Sheen on other occasions if I'm in a pinch and need something fast.

Thanks!
Just did the next step - clay bar. It's supposed to ift off ingrained dirt but I got zero dirt off... I think that all the washing and polishing performed so far has left me with basically an immaculate/perfect paint surface.
