removing car scratches please

Hello, I have nasty scratches on the side after brushing against a little wall. I bought a touch up pen of the same colour but I'm wondering what is the best method to remove these scratches, there are so many little marks I don't want to turn it into a mess more than it is already.

Here are the pictures:

Well really it depends on how deep the scratches are. If your seeing metal than I am affraid there is no quick pretty fix. If you went down to the paint and cant see metal tgan there is hope. You can 800 wet sand the deeper scratches in the clear coat until tgey are nearly gone being caeefull not to burn through the paint. Then clean and prep the spot with alcohol then clear coat it in several light coats. After it has dried thoroughly you 2000 wet sand to blend the clear coat then buff with a high speed buffer and glazing compound. Then wax with high speed buffer.

I don't know, as you can see the scratches are white, I don't know if it's considered deep enough

Well i didnt see thst you had puctures posted. It was late when i replied. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that is body tech material. Its not that its thru the clear coat but the length and width the damage covers. No paint pen or touch up can in the world can rescue you from this. Go get a couple quotes from local body shops. Another bad thi.g is your paint looks like a metallic or pearlescent. Both of which are extremely difficult to match. Good luck.
