Agree. Looks like superficial scratches. Not suitable for touch-up paint.

If you are familial with removing scratches with polish and a random orbiting tool - go for it. If not have a professional detailer take care of it.

detaliling 2 panels is not worth the detailers time.... they would probably charge you a grip..... your better off just detailing the whole car for a little more... a mobile detailer lives down the street and he charges 120 for a z.... guy does excellent work... he is really busy so you got to let him know in advance.... pm me if you want his info

should be around 100$ for a full car polish those scratches dont appear to be in the paint just the clear coat wich needs to be polished out with a buffer and a profesional you would put swirl markes all over if you tried with a buffer and by hand would take all day just to remove the scratches

Looks like that should come off if you wax it. Spray is for big scratches that go down to the metal. I had one 2 years ago and had to order spray paint from www.touchuppaintonline.com then sand, primer, paint, and clearcoat it. Although the color matched well and you can't tell it was there anymore, it was quite a bit of work. Yours doesn't look nearly that bad.
