Cut/scratch wax, used to get these little tree branch scratches all the time when offroading with my truck. If its not deep they'll come out easily.

good ol' fashioned bc pin striping.

i have a ton of it too.

scratch x 2.0 + meguiars tech wax 2.0 takes care of most of mine. the ones that dont come out just stay there.

i guess i'll take it to a body shop for a full going over at some point.

how deep?

A rotary and a cutting pad should get out 90% of surface scratches fairly quick.

With that said, if all else fails, seek a real pro detailer. We have many on this board that supply and can fix most of your issues.
