Default Repair scratches

Hello, so I was out on a trail up a mountain and at one point the trail was very narrow, on one side was a never ending cliff and on the other there was thorn bushes. Scratched up both sides pretty good going up and down the trail. I tried using Nu-finish scratch repair and although it worked ok the scratches are still there. They're not to deep so I imagine there's gotta be something out there that can make them go away. Anybody have any ideas or preferences of what to use. Thanks!!!!

New paint. Try cleaner polish/ cleaner wax. Multiple applications. There's only so much that can be done.

Dudes right, cleaner wax, twice if possible then u could go polish then wax but i usually just go cleaner wax then carnauba wax. Comes out great imo.
I'm in Norcal, a lot of manzanita and tight trails. I've got some scratching going on but luckily not thru the paint. I believe it can all be buffed out but I will wait until I need to do it so I don't thin the paint too many times.

I think it helps that I keep it waxed in the first place and now I'll put two coats of wax on if I know I'm goin out to the trails.
Here's some pics
