You can buff out the area with a high speed buffer, available at most big box retailers or auto part stores. You can also rent this equipment from some better known chains. You can also touch up the scratches with touch up paint; see your vehicles manual for color code.

Light scratches typically buffed out but heavier ones must be sanded and polished out. You should buy a book or research online to find the exact process required. Otherwise you risk damaging you paint permanently.

Light scratches can be sanded and polished out. However if the scratch is deep enough to catch your fingernail then it need to be repainted.

Minor scratches can be buffed out with buffing compoun and a good buffer. Deep scratches must be painted and should be done by a pro. Also be careful with a professional buffer. If the speed is not set properly you can remove the wanted paint from your car as well as the unwanted scratch.
