tree branch scratches

I had some tree branches skip over my roof and scratched it up. Nothing deep enough for touch up paint, but noticeable. I was wondering if there are any good products that can help me get rid of them or at least make them less noticeable? Let me now if you used, on what and if it helped. Thanks!

Some rubbing compound and polish?

Those scratches don't look that bad to me.

Whoa...sorry about never replying. If you haven't taken care of it yet, rubbing compound is pasty stuff that comes in a little jar/can at any place that sells detailing stuff. You just rub it on with an applicator pad with a TINY bit of pressure, then immedeatly wipe it off with a clean rag. Then you go over it with a bit of polish, applying/removing it the same way (but with a different pad and clean cloth) if you're not keen with other detailing tools.

MAKE SURE THE RUBBING COMPOUND SAYS CLEAR COAT SAFE or you will be in a world of ****. I would try some 3M perfect it II fine cut rubbing , then hit it up with a polish. If you still see the scratch, try a glaze. (wax it over) That should do the trick. It least its on the roof and not somewhere more noticable.
