The Quick Answer. Waxes do not remove scratches and swirl marks. To remove a scratch, you need to use polish or compound if it's in the clear coat, or respray the area if it's gone into the colour coat or primer. Waxes can make very minor scratches and swirls look less severe but they will not hide deeper scratches.
Scratches can be removed from the metal pretty easily. It just takes a little bit of time and effort. All you will need is a good quality polishing cloth and a little elbow grease. Just make sure that your polishing cloth that is appropriate for use on stainless steel surfaces.

Clean the plastic surface with a damp cloth, rubbing in a circular motion around the scratch. Dry the area to remove any dirt which should make the process easier to carry out. Apply a mild abrasive, such as toothpaste, furniture polish, baking soda or plastic polish to the scratch.
For deeper scratches, polish isn't abrasive enough to fix the problem. For a deep scratch that's visible even when you wet it down, you have to physically sand the area with a solid abrasive, such as sandpaper.
Toothpaste
Non-gel toothpaste can be used as-is, and baking soda can be mixed with water until a pasty consistency is reached. Make sure the surface is completely clean of dirt, dust, and food particles. Then dab a small amount of the compound onto a microfiber cloth and rub it continuously over the scratch.
