Default Best was to remove light scratches

I have a bunch of light scratches. I have the porter cable 7424xp to help remove them.
What is best? Meguiars scratch 2.0, ultimate compound or Wolfgang polishing glaze?

Can I use the CCS orange pad?

orange ccs pads are aggressive and used with a polish like Menzerna SIP, Megs 105, or Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover. You will then want to use a lighter pad and a finishing polish to remove any traces from these polishes and amp up gloss and reflection.

The pads I use come from Autogeek http://www.autogeek.net/vcpad.html
I use the orange light cutting pad to apply the Meguiar’s #2. I use the the blue finessing pad for Z5.

If you have CCS pads use them, but use them with polishes designed for them. I typically will use an orange pad (with Megs 105, Menzerna SIP, or Wolfgang TSR). I then move to a white pad (with Megs 205, Menzerna 085rd or Nano, or Wolfgang FG). You can then use a blue non-abrasive pad to apply waxes or sealants as wanted (optional).
