Removing light scratches from paintwork

[cider_fox]

Hey all. My S2 has quite a few areas where there's very light scratches in the paintwork. Any tips on how to deal with it? I've no idea if it's special paint that needs to be treated differently to non-fibreglass cars. Or whether machine polishing is risky and hand polishing is better, or what type of polishing compounds are good. Any thoughts? Ta

I've found with my S2, the paintwork has responded very well to machine polishing. It was very scratched on most panels, which I believe all to be original paint (Calypso red too...it was garaged for most of its life).

I used a DA machine with a 2 in one polish called Menzerna:

I've also read that the original Lotus paint it pretty resilient and thick.
