Here is a simple step by step process. Very important to get it clean before applying the rubbing compound/polish. Use clean clothes for every step. Lots of products out there.

Do not use rubbing compound ???…EVER. Instead USE a high quality polish like Mesquires #7 with a clean microfiber cloth. Unfortunately I suspect you will only be able to modestly mask the damage, but removal will be difficult. Given the amount of damage you have it might be advisable to seek a professional who has knowledge of paint correction procedures. If you don’t know what you’re doing, you could worsen the problem.

Good luck with your fix!

Nothing wrong with rubbing compound. Don't rub too hard and go opposite the scratch.

Bah, show that pinstriping off! That's you're true badge of honor. Had mine pinstriped within the first week!

This is a tough one. I don’t think you’re gonna be able to get rid of some thing like that 100%. If you find something that works well for you, please post back and share with others.

Sorry, but I strongly disagree. Too easy to misjudge. Ask me how I know.

Chrystal polishes out pretty good just easy on the rubbing compound I use the links below. Black is a nightmare!

This will not make scratches completely disappear but had good luck with the synthetic clay and lots of cleaner / lube. Does wonders on tree sap and bugs too.

Just make sure it is clean no mud, dirt, or dust.

Scratches are sexy! Battle scars that are proof it’s not a mall crawler/pavement Princess.

Pour water on it. If it goes away then comes back when dried it’s just a clear coat scratch. Those are very easy to fix

Make paint correction a seasonal thing.

Collect all the scratches you can and polish them all out at the same time once a year or every other year. No sense in doing it every time you get one.

That's a bit drastic! No need to divest of his manhood
