So i just found out my car got keyed and im not the kind of guy who would rev up the neighborhood. Anyway, im looking for a solution and hopefully the detail gurus in here can help me with certain type of compound product or anything that can help me fix this. Thanks guys.
Sorry to hear! What sucks is it doesn't look like it will buff out. If it has to be resprayed, it may never match.
...now with that in mind, did the vandal happen to hit the whole entire car, or just a few panels? You may need to go through insurance to get the whole car resprayed.
First test If you can catch it with your finger nail. If it does catch no compound going to help. That mean it past the clear and paint itself. At that point it either touch up or paint from a body shop.
Damn that looks like it's through the paint. Get a quote from the body shop and then call up your insurance if your comprehensive deductible is not too high.
Unfortunately, those look way to deep to correct without applying paint. No amount of polish, buffing, or wax is going to get rid of those.
I'd suggest taking it to a paint and body shop to ask for a quote. If the cost is high enough, consider an insurance claim. If you are looking for a DIY solution, you could look into getting a paint pen, but it will never look as good as just getting a respray.

I had scratches down to the metal on my M Roadster and my guy was able to make them disappear without paint. Lots of time and massaging the paint is the trick, something I could never do.
Too deep for any paint correction, you'll need to get those resprayed.
If you're going to have it repainted (which I'm pretty sure you will), I would start looking for a residence that has a garage, and I don't mean one of those underground public garages, I mean your own garage, otherwise this crap may happen again.
