Car got scratched!

Damn car got scratched, I don't know how. Now I have 2 scratches that annoy me. I know there are a few people that are good working wonders with touch-up piant/compound and orbital buffers. Anyone in NJ that can help me out? I will pay for the work.

is another car's paint on your car or is your paint missing? That is the first step to seeing if rubbing compound or an orbital buffer will help.

if your nail goes in the scratch means it went thru Clear coat high speed polishing will not get it out

Nah it looks like a slight jagged key scratch maybe, went down to the primer.

I realize buffing will not get it out but there are people who can touch-up scratches to look real good.
