Are these scratches on the 2022 atomic silver RX removable?

on the paint a machine compound and polish will lighten them at the least. go to test the back first, not sure what the finish or material is.
By hand , maybe, not as good results.

probably not. you might be able to polish out 30-50% of it. but the deeper ones will remain. how did it happen?

You'd be surprised at what a good compound can do. Use a good 2 step like Meguiars Ultimate Compound then Polish, or something similar from Griots Garage. Good products that are easy to obtainover the counter.

The problem with going to deep is yes you may level out the scratches to the point of being invisible, but you'd have also lowered the clear coat to dangerous or non-existent levels. the key with polishing is going far enough but not so far that you ruin your car. a paint gauge will help as well as experience. compound is rather aggressive, especially in inexperienced hands.
