If you have clearcoat over your paint you may be able to buff out some of the scatches. Have it dome by a pro rather than trying to do yourself

mmhmm.. or wax (although it might be a bit cold to wax the car). If it's very shallow, waxing the car will cover it.

Same happened to me. However mine was only on the driver's side door and was quite deep (somebody must have used a key cos' it was about 16" long)

I had some shallow scratches, apparently from a cat, on my trunk lid. Before treating the car with Diamond-Kote, the dealer buffed out the scratches. Looks perfect.

May whoever did it have a long, interesting life. Either that or you find out who did it & make them pay to fix it.

It is one of those acts that I would look the other way if somebody commited a violant act against the perpetrator (if caught). Unless it was caused by an animal in which case it's just bad luck.

It wasn't from an animal. It was human made but I will never find out who did it.

I am still planning on taking it to see if some of the scratches can be buffed out.
Those that can't, I will use touch up paint to cover so that they don't start to rust.

No, I understand your scratches was from an idiot and not an animal... I'm just saying that one day we are going to hear about an owner catching the idiot in the act and then killing said idiot. If I'm on that jury, when it goes to trial, I'm finding the owner NOT GUILTY.
