I bought a 12' Audi A7, like brand new minus these scratches. Shy of getting the area repainted (quote was $900), how can I best fix it at home? These scratches are certainly through the paint, again, best option? I just want it to not be as noticable and not spend a fortune at a body shop. I was thinking maybe Dr. Colorchip? https://www.drcolorchip.com/
What do you folks think?

Compound around area, polish, then if its down to metal. Try Dr. Colorchip. If used correctly. Barely noticeable. They have a road rash kit. Ive used dr colorchip on 2 cars. Paint match is extremely close. Follow directions to exact tee.

The compound and polish should remove what i marked in yellow. The blue will most likely require dr colorchip136983

First of all, you need to wash your vehicle and then go for dry. Then, you need to apply a good scratch repair like Turtle Wax 50734 or Formula 1 Scratch Out. Hopefully, you will fix it.
