My girlfriend has just bought a new car and it has quite a few light scratches on the bonnet as well as other areas and I would like to know the best way to remove them? I don't wanna get the bonnet resprayed id rather try other methods first. I thought a mild cutting compound but Im not sure on whats involved so any advice, comments or suggestions would be great

Not sure if this means anything but the car is a 2003 silver mercedes
