i own a repair shop,and you can go to any parts store and get some mild rubbing compound ,and lightly rub it in to the paint and lightly rub it off and it will remove most surface scratches ,and sometimes a little more,but you have to take your time with it,it may take 2,or 3 times to get it right,good luck,i hope this help,s.

A good fine grade rubbing compound will take out minor scratches. You may also try a detail shop. They typcally charge less than a body shop, and they have the equipment to remove minor defects. If the scratch has penetrated through to the primer, there are some touch up paints available to help hide the scratch.

I would use soft scrub not rubbing compound it is a very fine grain cleaner with a little bleach in it .It wont harm the finish or the paint (you can judge how much rubbing pressure with a thin but soft rag is needed to clean away the scratch)it is a lot safer than rubbing compounds that if applied to heavy or rubbed to hard will cut the finish away and get down to the paint .Soft scrub can be found in the cleaning supplies isles in all grocer's .I use it and have had fabulously flawless results .

lite surface marks can be removed with rubbing compound and then waxed'
deep scratches need a body shop to sand fill and sand again primer then paint to match.
a cheep way is to use a matching colour crayon then wax over it . used car dealers use it all the time it last as long as the warranty.
