Repairing Paintjob!

For a black paint job, my car is relatively good. There are some minor swirls, scratches, and 1 or 2 deeper than minor scratches.

My color is nighthawk pearl, fyi.

I went to my local Kragens and autoshops and picked up different matching paint touch-up pens, as well as turtlewax scratch remover and all that crap. Suffice it to say none of them work.

Besides factory touch up paint which I haven't even inquired about, is there any products that you guys have used that works in actually making your paint job look closer to factory finish?

1 free cookie for everyone who replies with a good advice!

I've used something like that, but it had no effect. =/ Probably need a buffer for the satisfactory results ..
