Try getting them buffed out. You can get this done by a detailer, or your dealership might have people they go to for this kind of work.

depending on how bad the scratches are, you may be able to use a mild cleaner or body scrub to get them out. If they only affect the clearcoat, you can try a fine-cut cleaner.

buy some touch up paint and fill streak in. Then purchase paint repair kit from www.autosupermart.com and it will pull off excessive paint. Kinda expensive at 19.99 for a small bottle. If they are not deep try a sealer and glaze to reduce appearance.

Like most people already said, if it is a deep scratch, by that I mean if it has dropped below the clearcoat, then you may want to use touch up paint. But most of us know, it only makes it worse cause it never can be applied correctly and what not.

If it not too bad, then like most people said, you a mild cleaner, by that I mean RUBBING COMPOUND. That stuff looks like wax, but essentially it is an ever so soft sanding on the top coat and will smoothen it out the best it can.
