touch up paint to fix the scratches, be careful so that you don't do it like the person before you did it, and then after you touch that all up have your car buffed....

Any auto detailing shop, if there isn't any around then a body shop might do it for ya. You're looking at between 25 and 40 bucks. It should take out most of those little scratches.

The bird feet looking things are paint cracks - no buffing will solve that problem - only repainting. If you can feel the scratch with your finger nail - no buffing will solve that problem either. Some medium scratches can be removed but only by damaging the paint slighty.

Mask off the area where the touch-up is not level - leave area to be fixed exposed with a slight amount of fresh surface. Sand with fine wet/dry paper - the apply paint in light coats until even.

At my shop I would charge $75 minimum for exterior work with paint in average condition.

Air brush is the best touch-up method IMO.
