Removing surfaces scratches

I am having trouble removing surface scratches in the clear coat on my car, mainly on top of rear bumper. It is Obsidian Black so it is prone to showing any sort of marks.
I think they have been caused by cheap microfiber cloths I have used when using Zaino Z6 or Z8 quick detailer. I now use the Zaino Blonde borderless towels.
I use Zaino Z2 and Z5 by hand religiously which gives an amazing shine but find it doesn't remove the surface scratches very well. I also have Menzerna PO85 RD and Final Polish which I have tried using a machine, it does improve them but doesn't completely remove them.
Any suggestions on what product i could use that is easy to use.
Thanks

Menzerna Power Finish PO203S a Lake County (LC) Orange or a Green pad

This combination (2500 grit) will remove most light surface scratches and can be finessed with Menzerna Final Polish PO85RD on a (LC) White pad

Your like a detailing encyclopedia
Are you aware of any product that helps with surface scratches that can be used by hand or is it always best to use a machine and Menzerna?
How do you prevent them for coming back?
Thank you

It more efficient to polish with a machine but a product by Megs should help, it’s called ScratchX, apply using a terry towel cloth to help its abrasive abilities (hard work but if its your only option, so be it)
