that far down you won't get more than a 40% improvement with polishing

the rule of thumb is if you can catch them with your nail they will need to be repsrayed.

some pics would help.

oh right. so the cheapest way is to buy a touch up pen can a po touch it up and sand it in without the need of a respray.

it depends on the scratch really.

A chips away service will try to blow the scratch in and then blend.
