Minor Scratches

I wonder if anyone has tried to eliminate minor scratches from the paintwork using toothpaste??

Hi, 

toothpaste should really only be used for its purpose, to clean teeth. 
For minor scratches like from daily use and regular car washes best thing to do is simple hand wax or polish. Do a good car wash by yourself. Dry the car with soft microfibre cloth. Treat the paintwork with car wax. If any deeper scratches are presented you can do by hand again with t cut compound like 3M green cap.

Wax won't remove scratches, It'll just fill them with wax! Polish is an abrasive, wax is a coating.

If you can feel the scratch with a fingernail,it won't polish out. There's all sorts of grades of cutting compound, some can be quite harsh!
