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:

Before:
<table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/AGBrg39gO5mraAavRVGsHA?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_O3V0YUR-7Dc/SZHqXwfyP3I/AAAAAAAACgw/VihsOJjPE1w/s800/Picture%20792.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/Eric.Blankenship/Detailed?feat=embedwebsite">Detailed</a></td></tr></table>

After:
<table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/gIjsHpV5iQywmKx3zEUiqw?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_O3V0YUR-7Dc/SZHvJGy1jvI/AAAAAAAACiA/H-xjVrd9DDs/s800/Picture%20801.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/Eric.Blankenship/Detailed?feat=embedwebsite">Detailed</a></td></tr></table>
