Depending on how deep the scratches are and how much paint is left I’ve had pretty decent luck touching up this kind of thing on previous cars by doing the following:
1. Mr. Clean magic eraser to rub off any dirt (this works best for paint transfer, might not help here)
2. Wet sand with very fine wet sand paper (start with 2000 and go up to 1500 or 1000/600 depending on result.
3. Polish with something like meguiar’s ultimate compound to hide the finer scratches
4. Wax area
5. See if improved enough that you don’t need to get it painted.
No guarantees it will work in your case, but I was surprised how much I’ve been able to clean by doing this in the past.
