    Your going to have to give a bit more info such as how big and deep are the scratches, location, your technical ability, your budget. Pictures would help. With non of the above your best answer is to visit a few body shops and get estimates.

    For not so deep scratches you can use compound and polish. Or try the 3M scratch kit they sell at Canadian Tire. It's about $30.

    Interior scratches or external?

    Pick up Quixx Scratch Repair Kit on Amazon.ca.

    Any scratch that will get caught in your fingernail will usually not buff out and will have to get repainted to be perfect. Swirls or light scratches will buff out.

    If you can spend the money get a rotary or dual action polisher to buff out scratches and make your paint perfect. Or alot of elbow grease will work too but will never give the same result as a machine.

    Pickup some meguiars ultimate compound from canadian tire. It will take out alot of scratches in your paint even by hand. Or you can use their proffesional line of mirror glaze for a better result.

    Most scratch removal pastes and liquids dont work well on deep scratches. Only on light stuff.

    I can confirm that this company and polish works wonders. Be careful with a buffer. I'll post some pics. I've started doing detailing jobs here in Ottawa again.
