There's no such thing as a polish which will 'cover' scratches - they need to be polished out with some form of cutting compound then a wax applied to hopefully prevent any more happening. You can either do this separately with something like T-Cut - or Farecla if the scratches are deep - or a polish that combines the two.

I found Turtle wax Extreme pretty good for polishing out small scratches. Of course, being clear you can't see that it's removing some of the lacquer, but it does.

Have a look at the Meguiars range of products, they're very impressive and work very well, try the 3 step system.

Farecla G3, G10 and glaze, with some wax over the top. G3 might not be needed depending on how bad the scratches are. If the car already has wax on it, get some traffic film remover, use it to take all the wax off and you might find that the scratches are in the wax and not in the paint.
