Help me make a dent in these scratches
Discussion
My missus has a white Fiat 500. Let's just say the paintwork leaves a lot to be desired at the moment and we're looking for suggestions on what we can do at home to help the situation without a full-on smart repair/touchup/similar professional. Looks like it was in the wars at our old place (tight parking, people brushed past cars on their way in etc) and she used to take it to a roadside cleaning place that may have exacerbated things.
I am admittedly absolutely clueless about the various products and regimens out there that might help other than T-cut which I admit is an obvious brand. We know nothing will 'fix' this but I figure we can probably help the situation a little and if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great.
At the moment my high level plan is to take it to the self-service (all I do with mine tbh - see what I mean about clueless) and get all the top layer crap and dirt off then think about whether to go t-cut/t-cut white/Farecla G3/other - but I'm not sure if it is way beyond these products and it'll be akin to polishing a turd since the damage is more serious that surface scratches. Any help is greatly appreciated.
As you can see these scratches seem to go down to the primer I guess, hence the grey. You can feel them to the touch so the surface layer has gone it seems. Wafer thin though.
