Well, "minor" is a very subjective term. I too have a black Mustang, and the scratches you are referring to are commonly referred to as"spider webs". Delending on how bad they are, a glaze applied by hand may make them less noticeable. However, when I bought my car (used) they were pretty bad.

I wound up using DRI WASH 'n GUARD(R) OxyGone, which is a mild abrasive, with a Porter Cable buffer and a white polishing pad. I then followed it up with DRI WASH 'n GUARD(R) Ultra-Ion Waterless Car Wash and Protective Glaze, again with the buffer, and the spider webs are now gone!
