Spend a little cash and get it properly mopped. They can even remove deeper scratches by filling with a bit of paint, wet and dry, and mopping. You'll be amazed what can be done.

As said as long as theres enough product on there a good mop can get rid of alot of scratches, may poss need a bit of a flat first or a touch of paint as said to fill deep ones but you'd be surprised how good just a mop is!!
My 306 TD is white and the paint has always been flat as fook since ive had it and ive never taken much time to look after it as its a work horse, got round to mopping it at work the other week and tis like a brand new car!! and it was only a quick buzz round

basically most paintshops and some valeters can mop the car for you. It basically involves using some sort of cutting compound and a mop (looks like and angle grinder but with a sponge head on it)
With the compound and the heat and friction caused by the mop head it actually can remove scuffs and scratches if their not too bad!!
The compounds is slightly gritty hence its able to remove scratches etc

It is something you can do yourself with the right tools but at the same time if ur not confident or shown how to do it properly can end up burning thru the paint etc, specially when someones done a crap blow iin before at some point, as i found out on 1 of my doors when i mopped it
