Chips/scratches everywhere

I get scratches everywhere and this is the first day i got my car.
Got a scratch above the headlight and a little at the paint by the headlight.
A few scratches at the rear spoiler ( how the hell did i get them there?!)
One pretty long one which doesn't seem to be a scratch maybe some dirt just etched in there. How do I rub these off? with my finger?

Howd those get there, esp on the first day you got your car. Are those actual scratches or just smudges of something that touched your car. you can try to rub it off, but must warn you, our paint is so soft you can scratch the paint when you try to rub the initial dirt/scratch off.

I wouldnt rub them off with my finger. If the car has any dirt, you will end up scratching the paint. I'd start with a thorough wash of the car. Then try some Meguiars ScratchX to remove the scratches.

You might also try posting this in the DETAILING forum. You might get some further suggestions there.
