Minor Scratches

What is the best way to remove minor scratches? They are gonna happen and I know there isn't anything that can be done to avoid or prevent them.. but what is the best way to get rid of them when they do occur?

Thanks in advance!

a little bit of this:
Amazon.com: Meguiar's M205 Mirror Glaze Ultra Finishing Polish - 32 oz.: Automotive Amazon.com: Meguiar's M205 Mirror Glaze Ultra Finishing Polish - 32 oz.: Automotive

and a microfiber rag will take away most.

If you want to start getting into trying to remove swirls, then you'll definitely want to invest in an electric polisher of some sort.

I've had good results with ScratchX and elbow grease, on minor scratches.
