You pretty much need to wet sand the surface level. For deep scratches I'd try strating with 100-120 grit paper, then working your way down to 1000-1200 grit. Follow that up with some Novus #2 polish, possibly follow that with Novus #1 if you're a perfectionist. The sand paper grit you start with depends on how deep the deepest scratch is. You can always start with finer paper, but then it takes a lot more elbow grease to get the deeper scratches out. I use blocks of firm foam with the paper glued on with 3M headliner spray adhesive.
