scratches! on black C350 coupe 2012 "Help"

I own a 2012 C350 Coupe and have minor scratches on the car.
The Black is unforgiving!
Any recommendations to clean up the appearance of the scratches?
I am grateful for any and all responses

Did you tried polish? If it is minor and not as deep you could clean them. Post picture and I will tell you if it is minor. I cleaned some real minor scratches before with polish but also painted some parts of mine coupe twice already because of other not as minor scratches...

I have a black C350 coupe as well. I have been using Griott's Garage polishes and wax along with the random orbital polisher. I have achieved excellent results in getting out minor scratches. Baby smooth finish as well
