Scratch Removal
I was taking a close look at my Aerostar earlier and I noticed some scratches here and there, some caused by my infamous Aerostar Climbing Cats, and some caused by rough terrain and bushes. They're pretty superficial scratches, some just slightly deep but not enough to see primer or metal.
Anyone know some good ways to get rid of these scratches?

There really isn't any way to "get rid" of the scratches. You can hide them to a certain extent with thick waxes that are colored to match your paint. If you try a polish to try to buff out a scratch, what you'll be doing is to remove the paint around it to the point where its thickness matches the depth of the scratch.
You can get some of those touch up paints and dilute them with lacquer thinner, and carefully apply with a fine brush. Then polish the edges of the new paint to match the surrounding.
