Default SCUFF DAMAGE HELP!?

I came out today and noticed these scuffs on my 2000 Accord EX. Any tips on how I can possibly remove these scuffs or am I just SOL??? ANY advice would be greatly appreciated!

Polishing compound or ScratchX should take care of it.

If it's still there you may have to get a rubbing compound (bit more abrasive than polishing)

Is it deep? For me, Meguiars Ultimate Compound using a DA buffer. Works wonders on those scuffmarks.

You definitely need to use a buffer of some sort to get rid of that scuff mark(assuming it's in there)

Scratch X is also under meguiars, but it's less abrasive. Ultimate compound is better for these situation because it is abrasive at first and it slowly breaks down to the same abrasiveness as scratch x

Try A Clay Bar and detail spray, if that does not work as stated above a Compound and a buffer. Start out w/ a fine Compound and work your way to coarser. Compounds are like sand paper they have different grits.
