Well, buff them out or if they're too deep you can wet sand them.

Three scratches ???

As a leading forensic scientist in my mind, and a cat owner, it may be a mark from a cat paw...Where the cat jumped up on the car ???

Where did it happen ? Home or work ?

Did you try buffing them out etc? Sometimes when dealers pull off the plastic that is put on by the factory for transport, it leaves residue that kinda looks like scratches, but comes right off...

As a leading forensic scientist in MY mind I think its much more likely these were baby polar bear marks..or a wild pterodactyl..

But pterodactyl scratches are easy to buff out....but a bite from a tyrannosaurus rex. .that is a whole different matter..,.hope it never happens to you..

If it is keeping you up at night just bring it to a local detail shop and or body shop and let them wetsand/blend/whatever to the scratches if needed. Id pay at least $500 for a better nights sleep!:P
