how deep are the scratchs??
cos you dont want to polish too deep or you might end up with some bad paint thats really thin and may cause problems for future polishing

well have a look on here
Total Car Cosmetics.
if you need anything give me a shout first and i might be able to sort you out some discount.
you want something like Meguiars Ultimate Compound. this will work a treat. i used it on the black on my car. i only use it by hand and it works a treat

i would say this is really low. around 1-3
its really really fine and will work a treat by hand, and without ruining the paint
you want megs compound 80 for really cutting compund or 84

You used #84 on your motor Si ? this is on par with Menz Power Gloss, both polishes are very aggressive, each polish can cause marring/hollowgrams in the paint, #83 is more than enough for subaru paint or should be and if not broken down tidy both should be followed by #80 or the #205 i think it is.
I dont understand why you recommend #84 before #83.
