I got one worst. When I had my 71 Lemans car. It had a fibreglass header. Parked in a shopping mall lot and coming out to find a Shopping cart imbedded into the header. The cart seems to have been squished by another vehilce into my header by 3 inches. I just had the car painted. A few weeks later to now find a bumper crease down the whole length of the passenger side of my car. From front door right to the back bumper. Had to repaint whole car again. GGGRRRRRRR!!!!

Use Meguairs ScratchX ~ Auto Zone carries it.
Are they surface scratches, or into the paint? Take care with that scratch remover, use your fingers. Everytime you use scratch remover, it takes off a little bit of the clear coat.
Suggestion: Deep scratches that are down to the metal or primer can be fixed, and you'll never know they were there. Get the correct colour touch up paint...shake well and mix it with some clear epoxy. Fill in the scratches a bit higher above the paint surface. When dry, sand with 600 fine wet-dry paper. Polish out the sanding marks..Looks great doesn't it!

I would try to get some polish, if its not that bad of a scratch. Scratchs are a pain in the @ss though, they can be touchy to fix. Sorry to hear it Dustin, I will lend you my baseball bat, and you can go breaking some legs!
Glen i used to have a 70 pontiac lemans, it looks almost identical to the gto, I sold mine for peanuts and pulled the motor out of it for my 81 grand prix. Mistake!

Any of the various scratch removers will remove a bit of the clear coat.
NEVER EVER use a wax with silicone on clear coat paint. NEVER EVER spray silicone on or near clear coat paint. Silicone will strip the clear coat right off.
READ the label...make sure it's pure carnuba wax. If it contains silicone...don't use it on clear coat.

i'm thinking of taking my '02 to the bodyshop for a refreshing too. there's a pile of little rock chips and tiny hairline scratches on it that annoy me...maybe they have a trick and an extra few coats of clear to keep her purdy...
