Anyone know how to remove fine scratches?

Yesterday i took off the "Q45" and "ANNIVERSARY EDITION" emblems from the trunk. Although when i removed the glue off, i found there was several scratches on the outline of the emblems. I have no idea how this happend but Is there any way to remove those scratches. LIke using some type of solvent. Or wetsanding and clay bar or something! anything? I just dont want to have to respray my whole trunk.

lightly run your fingernail through the scratch and if it catches it then it's too deep. You'll have to respray it. You can try wetsanding with 1000grit and work yourself up to 1500, 2000 then buff it out with some rubbing compound and swirl mark remover. i recommend using 3m.

I tried that method and it is too deep. I guess ill try some of that meguirs stuff when the weather clears up in a few days since i have other small scuffs on the pain. and then move on to sanding if it doesnt come off.
