Orbital Use??

Ok so i got this orbital to use on my car. i know i got it early my car is like 1 day old...so anyways its for my parents car to... My question is what product to i put on the orbital to remove scratches. Would Mcguiars Scratch-X work well, or can i ruc Mcguiars paste wax on the car and go over it with the orbital???
