If you look real closely to the paint, it appears to have fine scratch marks when viewed in direct sunlight. What can I do to fix this? Also, does the rags you use make a difference? What do you suggest? I usually use a chamois and then buff with a cotton shirt. Thanks for the help.

What you are probably seeing is what's called "cobweb effect" and also RIDS (random incidental deeper scratches).
I'd buy a Porter Cable random orbital polisher and use the Meguiar's line of detailing products.
Start with the Porter Cable and Meguir's Dual Action Cleaner Polish, then apply Meguiar's #9, then a polish, then NXT wax.
Check out www.meguiars.com to purchases or www.meguiarsonline.com for more discussion and help.
