Never tried this but i'd try some touch up paint with same color code as car. Then buff it out after it sits for a while...? Hard to say if it will work without seeing pictures.

I bought some Zaino diminishing polish which has particles that get finer as you work it. I was able to get some of the minor scratches in my paint out with that then I re-Zainoed the paint. The Z5 is the best for black with swirls or minor scratches.

I took mine to a body shop and for $200 they wet sanded and buffed the paint. It looked like a new car when I got it back!
