Nu Finish Scratch Doctor seemed to work pretty good for me. If there are deep cuts in the paint, then you may want to try a different product. Nu Finish Scratch Doctor is easy to apply, and buff off.

Great question. I have tried yelling at and scaring my scratches away, and they just sit there. I threw rocks at them trying to chase them away, only to have more scratches show up.!!!
I guess you could always try to lightly color sand and buff them out. It is a simple process. Or you could go down to the local auto store where the usually sell 'Touch-up ' paint that usually comes in small cans or bottles with a small applicator brush then lightly color sand and buff out there area or whole car. They also make a wax called Color-Back that comes in a rainbow of colors. Simply buy the color of wax that matches your car's color, and the scratched disappear.
One more thing, don't try shooting them off with a shotgun. This just attracts holes and more scratches.
Good luck.

Stop by your local auto parts store.Buy a bottle of hand glaze.The hand glaze is made to clean and remove minor scratches from the car finish with no grit to harn the finish.When done use a good coat of wax to seal the finish.

T-Cut is ok for light scratches, my car was keyed and it didnt work for this. Halfords do quite a good set for sorting minor/medium scratchs and have most car makes and models and the colours are a perfect match.

A decent polish or a warm Sunday with the T-Cut should shift minor scratches.

if they are light scratches eg from keys in locks etc then give the car a T cut it usually does the trick if they are deep scratches or chips from stones et then the panel needs to be sprayed professionally

Go buy a clay bar, you use it before you wax or polish your vehicle, it will get into all the cracks and crevices removings all contaminates, also removes fine scratches before you polish/wax.... Good luck

Try using T Cut.
