Your going to need to polish your paint using abrasive polish(es). I'd recommend reading through our polishing how-to guide to get a better understanding of the process as well as some product suggestions. If you have any specific questions on anything, let us know.

I use Quixx, a two step scratch remover. Works great for small scratchs. I picked it at rite aid (i know).

You should read up first, watch some videos, or even hire someone the first time and watch the technique. Its an education worth paying for, the fact of the matter is you only get 1 original factory paint job and you do not want to mess it up.
