It's hard to tell how deep those scratches are, but I had a bunch of fine scratches on my previous motorcycle (caused by my dumb son who attached a magnetic tank bag to the tank when it had a bunch of grit on the magnet). I was able to remove them by hand rubbing Meguiar's #2 Professional Fine-Cut Cleaner with a microfiber cloth. The scratches were 100% gone when I was done, but these scratches were not particularly deep to start with. Well worth the $6 for the cost of the bottle (and safe for clearcoat).

Thanks, I will give these things a shot. I am not terribly surprised, I finally saw a 2010+ body here in a town of 300k. Saw two today and both were V6s which blew my mind, but explains why I keep finding new people around my car whenever I walk out of where I am.

True, I think a disillusioned myself with being away 6 years. But I mean the dealership in town sells Roushes, so I figured there would be a few more GTs about.

If I had to guess it looks like someone leaned up against it with a button on their jeans pocket and was moving around a lot. Nearly all of them are vertical so I am not sure.

I got keyed at a volunteer event and turned it into my insurance under comprehensive. Cost me $100 to make it new again. I wasn't ready for my still pretty new Bullitt to start lookin' like a Steve McQueen beater. 
(I'm still not ready for that!)
On mine, they had to blend paint on more than one panel - but they can't blend clearcoat, so several entire panels were shot - just from this little key job. $1300+

Used some Maguiars (sp?) clear coat safe buffing compound (couldn't find the specific one mentioned.) It worked out well, ended up finding a few more identical scuffs about 6-8 inches from that set... no idea what someone was doing. But it all came out for around 8 bucks (with pads) so no harm no foul.
Thanks for the tips guys!
