Help with Key Scratch like Scratches

[Blackg35shine]

I am curious if there is any specific way to attack these scratches for a customer. I have wet sandpaper ranging from 1500-3000 grit if that might help at all. I just dot want to do anything risky if it's not necessary. They are just like key scratches almost but not as deep. Thanks for any help!

95% if you can catch your nail on the scratch you need it repainted. If you can't catch it try with 2000 grit sp and then buff out what you can.

Wow Richy! They came out nicely. Sadly I didn't have the time to do all of these steps. But I did wet sand it down with 1500, 2000, and 3000. I then went over the spot with some wolfgang 3.0 swirl remover and polish. It came out beautifully and the owner loved it on how it is now. He wasn't expecting perfect by all means. Much less of a scratch now!
