Here's the key, if you want to get rid of them, and are NOT experienced in using an orbital buffer, take it to a professional. They can buff the scratches out and make it look new.

Remember, those scratches are abrasions in the clear coat. Sure, you can "hide" them with polish and waxes, but they will reappear once the compounds age.

The only way to truly remove them is to have a professional use a cutting compound (rubbing compound) and remove a thin layer of the clear coat. Again, it's not something to try if you are a novice.

I'd try the Zainos ZFX with an orbital buffer. Even a novice should be able to make it happen without doing additional harm. Of course, that stuff will take off any wax/polish you have on. I'm a "Zainos guy", so I'd recommend that of course. Someone mentioned "liquid clay bar". Not sure what that product is...and it may be good...but there's no way it would be a substitute for a real clay bar.
