Definitely would like to see some pics...

When you say 'deep', obviously, that's a subjective term. Tell me this... can you feel them with your fingernail?

If you can feel them with your finger nail than it's going to need paint.

O great I hope it doesnt need it but yes i can feel them and you can clearly see them easily. But it doesnt look like the paint is scratched just the clear coat.

The general rule of thumb is that, if you can feel it with a fingernail, it won't be able to be totally removed.

That said, it doesn't mean that the appearance can't be VERY diminished using good technique, products, and a little patience.

What do you have in your bag of tricks? What products? Tools?
