if most of your scratches are in the clearcoat/paint, then its fixable without painting. going to a guy/shop is easiest, but might be expensive. if you want to try it yourself, then youll need a good orbital polisher, like a porter-cable. personally, i always use meguiars products, so ill use them as an example. hit up either a website or a good parts store, and look for meg. professional line. theyre in the tan bottles, with numbers on them. not the everyday 'gold class' variety. if your finish is REALLY bad, then look for a heavy abbrasive, like a diamond cut. work it, according to the directions, with the porter cable. one or two applications may be needed. you might have to then step down to a less abbrasive polish....they come in different strengths, writen right on the bottle. you could finish off with the meg. swirl remover, its like a step 2 abbrasive. then id use the glaze by hand, finish off with pure carnuba wax #6, by hand. that should take care of most of your damage, and finish off with a brilliant shine and protective coat.

doing it yourself, especially with this much damage, is VERY labor intensive and time consuming. its a worthy investment/learning exp. if you want to keep it up yourself. if not, then look up a local detailer, and have him do all the work for you. he might be able to blend in the line from the moulding. itd be at least $100-150, im guessing.
