Re: Paint finish
Did you:
a) Take it through an automatic car-wash? (I hope not!)
b) Take it to a hand car wash? (Those guys are sometimes not so diligent at using clean cloths / pre-rinsing the car / rubbing too hard, etc.
c) Wash the car yourself, but as b)
It should be recoverable by a good valet. If in London, I can recommend http://www.clean-image.co.uk/ to do a good job of doing this for you if you don't want to do it yourself.

Re: Paint finish
BHR, if you want to guage how bad your scratches are, see if you can feel the scratch with your fingernail...If you can, it's still probably not a disaster, but you have deeper scratches....since you didn't post any pics, it's hard to tell....most likely you have swirls etc....no big deal but you'll need a good detailer with either an orbital polisher, or rotary polisher to fix it for you.....You'll need a good one, or they'll make it worse (you're safest bet is to find one that uses the Orbital polisher, only because it's harder to screw up with an OP...if they don't know the difference or what you're talking about...red flag...find someone else.)
NXT is a great wax (I think it's better for metalics), and it has fillers, which hide (not fix) very minor swirls...You probably need to adjust your expectation of the product...More importantly though, how did you get the sratches in the first place...here's some before and after pics using an orbital polisher (pics c/o http://paintcare-n-detailing.com/)

Re: Paint finish
Yeah I guess I have swril marks then since the paint finish on my car is a bit like the pics you posted. I think i need to take it to a detailer since there is no way i can do it myself. 
My interior is Sand Biege and its a pain to clean as well any tips on how to clean the dash, steering wheel, plastic parts and with what products?
