I could careless if your lieing about this, but rubbing compound works great on minor scratches on anything. Some lady backed into my dads white s55, got blue paint all over the damn bumper, rubbing compound made it look almost completely new.

If your father owns all of the vehicles that you say he does, then be honest with him and he'll spend the few hundred bucks that it costs to repair the blemishes. At the end of the day, he'll be a rich father with an honest son.

Out Of Control!!
Whether you dislike the original poster or not, no one should purposely post bad advice, especially when it could be damaging. Lots of members and non members come here looking for advice that may not be aware of the past situation with the regular poster. That's what this forum is all about.
Back on Topic: There are several options depending on how deep the scratch is. There are concealers (like they advertise on TV) that will basically fill the scratch with a substance that matches the color of the car. These normally need to be applied regularly, and in my experience, don't really do a good job on scratches (better on things like swirl marks). If it's a light scratch, you may be able to buff it out using a microfiber cloth and some detail spray. If that doesn't work, I would move up to a good quality (abrasive) car polish. Depending on how deep in the clear coat the scratch is, you may have to go over it several times, or use a more abrasive polish or rubbing compound. You do need to be careful here as you could end up doing more damage (if you are unsure, I would take it to a professional detailer). If the scratch is down to the primer or the metal, then the only real solution is taking it to a body shop to be fixed.

Use a white polishing compound rubbed in a circular motion by hand in as small an area as possible. Follow with an application of creme wax. Assuming you didnt scratch all the way thru to the metal, he'll never know.
BTW, VM&P Naphtha is all you need to remove any road tar & bugs from your paint. It is also an excellent stain lifter from the carpeting to the mats to the headliner. Use it very sparingly & dab, dont rub. Think of it as "Dry Cleaning" Fluid.) Never use it on Leather.
