How much to get these scratches sorted? (Peterborough)
Discussion
Took delivery of an A4 (2y lease) in the EXCELLENT Brilliant Black (never again) at the start of the year.
Noticed a couple of months in that there were quite a few scratches and it doesn't feel like I caused them. Regardless, I'm past the point of rejecting the car based on paintwork I would imagine now I'm 8 months in. I have, however, picked up a scuff more recently (final picture) too which definitely wasn't there before.
The question is - what would it take to clear these scratches to the degree that I won't get stung with massive charges in 18 months time? I'm based in Peterborough so open to spending a couple of hundred quid if it'll pass muster.
I imagine at the very least it'll need a machine polish and a decent wax.

I had similar before on a dark coloured car. I found that the Turtle Wax range of coloured polishes made a big improvement - they also came with a wax stick (looks a bit like a lipstick) which you coloured in the scratch with and then just buffer off.
This was obviously just a temporary measure but it would last a few washes before it needed redone and you couldn’t see the scratches during that time
ETA - that was just for the top pictures, the larger scuff may benefit from a cutting compound such as Meguiars Scratch X or ultimate Compound but it’s difficult to tell from the picture.
