If you can catch your fingernail in the scratch it's too deep to buff. Best you can do is keep it waxed to try to hide it.
That turtle wax ice is great. It's made to go on black plastic and really darkens it up.
For a real shine use a synthetic paint sealant then lay a coat of Brazilian carnauba over top of that. If you park outside you'll probably need to clay bar the car first to remove any contaminants.

What'd you use for the seats? Idk if mine are dirty or someone improperly cleaned them before me and they are damaged. I have the black and white middle and it looks dirty where your sit. it bugs me
Walmart would have the wax, maybe the clay but probably need an auto parts store to pick that up. By sealant I mean any synthetic wax. I use meguiars next gen tech wax. These last longer than natural wax like carnauba and are a great base for a higher gloss carnauba like Mothers which needs to be reapplied about every 3-4 weeks.
This combo works especially well for red and black vehicles but anything will look better with a two step wax job.

I'm doing that this weekend, I didn't know if it would harm the paint to remove it or cause any blemishes so I researched it and it's simple.
