buy some rubing compound, get a medium cut and a fine cut or polish. Then wax anything you compound.

*I* wouldn't use a rubbing compound by hand. A light to medium paint polish should help you out.

If you can feel the marks with your fingernails, they won't come out completely.

You should be able to find some 3M polishes locally - look for 3M Machine Glaze.

Before you do anything, take your clay and lube, spritz, and knead the scratches. This is not the gentle remove surface contaminants glide, (which you should do first) this is, press the clay into the scratch with a Vengeance, (you should press on the spot like you want to hurt sombody), till it comes clean. You might be able to clean those scratches out and not have to do anything else but wax...
