you might get better answers in the appearance section. but try touch up paint and see how that works out.

Yeah dude probably should have posted it in the appearance section. Anyhow, I have yet to find many scratches that I could not get rid of by using a clay bar. I think I bought the Mother's brand clay bar kit and it comes with the bar and a bottle of quick detailer. I would suggest starting there

Try sanding with 1000-2000 grit sandpaper and then using a good buffer to buff them out, don't forget to use buffing compound

wash area you wish to sand. or just wash your car

whetsanding. start with a sanding block.
spray area with water you want to sand.
sand... spray w water... dry... and check.
still see a scratch. repeat the process.
when scratch is gone. buff with maguires diamond cut compound.
untill gone.
if there is swirls use a lighter compound untill the swirl marks are gone. (swirls are literally swirls you see in the sun) wax area
done

i like to try and start with the least aggressive method first and work my way up.

wet sanding may not be necessary. depending on how severe the scratches are, they may even be removed with something like cleaner wax. that's a lot of paint that would be removed for something simple.

run your finger nail across the scratch and see if your nail catches the scratch. this will give you an indication of how bad it is.

most scratches can be removed with a dedicated scratch polish such as Mother's Scratch Remover or McGuire's ScratchX. later.
