Should I worry about small scratches prior to applying a clear bra?

I'm going to get an X-pel clear bra applied in two days, and while clean bugs off the front bumper noticed some very small scratches where the front license plate holder had rubbed (I took the holder off as soon as I got the car, waiting for my real tags to show up in the mail, but it still got scratched).

I've got my Zaino kit for washing the car, but I only have the Z2 polish which I believe has little or no abrasives. The only thing I seen so far locally for removing scratches is Meguiar's Scratch-X.

So I need some quick advice: can Z2 be used to polish out small scratches? Or should I get something else? And since this is going to be covered by the clear bra anyway, does it really matter?

Z2 is not abrasive and the only item in the Zaino line that has any is Z-PC Fusion. If the scratch is light and did not penetrate the clearcoat use Scratch-X. The area where the PPF is applied will be stripped of any wax/sealant. This will ensure proper bonding between film and surface is achieved.
