Default light surfaces scratches, one slightly deeper scratch

Whats the best way to get rid of light surface scratches? I was thinking a good wax and buff hopefully.

I also noticed a slightly deeper single scratch right up the middle of the other scratches. Its still pretty light (certianly not a key mark or anything similar), but its there. Should i try some scratch remover or something? Thanks guys

If you can run your nail through the scratch and it gets stuck in it wont come out with a buff, but if you cant really feel it could come out with a wet sand and buff.

a good buff should take care of the surface stuff with ease. as for the deeper scratch. wetsand with some 2000 if you have never done it before. take your take do a little at a time. i would personally go until theres little or no orange peel left in the scratch area and then buff at a lower speed. if you have never wetsanded and buffed before i recommend having someone do it for you before you burn your clear.
