Depending on how deep the scratches are, you could hit it with some Meguiar's ScratchX 2.0. For deeper scratches, you may need to polish with an orbital.

Any quality scratch remover, such as Mothers or Meguiars, will allow you to buff out scratches in the clearcoat . I use Mothers and coarse and fine Faracla. If they penetrate through the color coat, you'll need to use touch up paint and possibly spot-re-clear and blend/buff - extremely hard to do successfully.
