Buff 'em out.
I'm sure a good detailing could clean that up.

Get a good buffer. There are also some very good scratch removers from 3M and others. If the scratches are too deep, you can wet sand the area first, then you would need to use a system to restore the finish. I have used 3M with great success.

2000 grit wet sandpaper
3M fine cut compound
3M scratch and swirl mark remover
3M sealer
3M pure caranuba wax

Other great products as well from Meguires, P21S and others. Check this website www.autopia.org

Good Luck!

Do not be afraid to ask questions my friend. I have performed many test and tried many things to see how they will work. We all have our own minds and what we believe will work, so you will, in the long run trust your "gut" on what you are comfortable with.

I can tell you I have 2 buffers, one is the safe one and onewill tear the paint right off of your car, but do not be afraid, in skilled hands, your car will be brighter than a diamond.

My first advice is read on the subjectand test your hands on apiece of painted surface, if you have it. Learn how to use the wet sandpaper and buffers/waxes available. We all have our preferred, but there are many great products out there. It is what you are comfortable with.

You can message me any time you like, tell me what you have, how severe it is (they are all severe to me), send me pics, I will help you any way I can. Also remember www.autopia.org , it is a great website.

I will chat with you soon!
