I have had hail storms pound on all of our cars (d@mn Oklahoma weather). Big hail can certainly beat the crap out of a car, but I have't seen any scratches that I thought came from the hail - only dents.

If the scratches are pretty deep you may want to wetsand it down and follow up with a buffer afterwards:
