Roll of carpet fell on my car over night in the garage and scratched my car from the door handle down to the side skirt . However I believe this can be polished out but wanted your opinions. So far I tried to hand compound it a little bit and this whats left. Ill be borrowing my friend's PC with some light cutting polish and hopefully the rest comes out.

If they are surface scratches, then yes. They can be buffed out with a rotory.

Can you catch a finger nail on it? If so, then it is most likely too deep. They don't look like they will be easy to remove, but I'm sure you can help to hide them with proper buffing.

Always impossible to tell without actually seeing them though.

Yeah some of the deeper parts can be slightly caught with the nail, guess I will try to buff most of it out and hide the rest with some wax

You could always wet sand and buff if needed... you must be certain that you have enough paint to work with though so you do not compromise the clear coat.

... and while you're at it, you should polish the inside of the door handle. Could use some work

^^^^^^ I dont think you should really tell a guy that asked if "these scratches could be buffed out" to try and wet sand his car. Seeing as he does not have a rotary or DA im guessing he does not have a paint thickness gauge along with the skills. Just my thoughts

^^^^^^^ Anyone can learn something with a bit of practice. Hope he would have the common sense not to just take a random piece of sand paper to his car. Either way - I was simply recommending a solution to his problem.

fair enough
