welcome, which part of canada are you from? canadian tire has pc's, if not in stock they can get them for you. check their website. i would you use a mild compound, if that doesn't work try scratch x.

Try 3M smr! You should be able to remove clearcoat scratches by hand.
 
Canadian Tire does carry them. I just checked and they are still there. (And still very expensive. :( ) One Canadian online site you can order a PC from is http://www.carcaresmart.com/page/C/CTGY/_MPA . $190 Cdn.
You can also order one from PAC (along with pads for it and products from PB's, 4*, etc. and save some time by ordering all at once, if you are considering "enhancing" your supplies.)
As to the marring, Mothers Scratch Remover can work on them, but it doesn't fill, so it could take a fair bit of time to get them gone. I've found that their Sealer and Glaze fills fairly well. (You'll still be able to see them if you look, but it helps with the reflections and "not closely scrutinized" viewing.)

I'd recommend reading the threads on Poorboy's SSR lines, or if you are wanting to fill, try Vanilla Moose (SMP-a site sponsor-carries it).
