Scratch removal

Hello,

I have recently bought a 2013 f31 which has several small scratches in various locations. Most of them don't snag a finger nail but some I can feel but doesn't really snag.

I don't have the time or money to polish the whole car with a DA polisher and then apply a ceramic coating (I'd love to do this though) so wanted some advice of quick but effective way to proceed.

Was looking at scratch x 2.0 but read this has fillers? What's the downside to fillers?

Or do I get ultimate compound? Does this need to be followed up by ultimate polish?

I was going to clean the car well before doing this. But do I need to go as far as clay bar clean? Not after perfection just something adequate so can't see much from a a couple of feet away.

Thanks in advance

It's recommended to do a search on topics that are recurring. Or even just scroll down the page. This appears just a few posts down from yours:
