You need to get rubbing compound which is a gritty paste, and buff it out and then, polish it

if the scratches are just in the paint surface and not down to the metal or fiberglass or plastic you can buff them out with a car buffer. if you have never used one i strongly suggest you take it to a body shop for them to do it,because you can buff the paint off down to the surface very quickly or you will have light and dark spots on the car. you must apply a wax/cleaner after buffing to remove the buffing swirls and to bring out the shine better. now you can do this by hand with a clean white cotton rag that's not ruff textured. you will need a can or bottle of buffing paste and a bottle of wax. read the directions on the buffing paste good and don't use it or the wax in direct sun. do this in a shaded area. a carport would be idea. make sure you get buffing paste or liquid and not try to buff with the wax.

visit roadrunner on gilshill rd and purchase a small bottle of t cut back and some colour magic (silver) rub the T cut back in around the scratch aand enable it dry to a white haze then buff off, then practice some coats of the colour magic, enable to dry back then polish it the colour magic will blend in and make the scratch very just about invis

Most dealerships sell repair kits for the colors they produce. Do it before it gets out of hand.
