Just use some rubbing compound. I’ve used Motomax 2k rubbing compound and some scratches have vanished quite nicely. Go along the grain of the scratch.

Rubbing compounds are effective only if the scratch is very thin hairline scratch. Else you may not be much satisfyied with the results.

2 years back I had bought this

It has provided good results for most of the small scratches. Note that scratches like black marks can be removed using rubbing compound. If you can feel deep scratches with your fingers, then rubbing compound will not be effective.

In the last photo, that’s chipped, meaning almost all layers of paint are gone, and it is back to its surface layer, The first photo can be rubbed though

Yes these kinda black marks will be removable using rubbing compound.

If the paint in last photo chipped as Praveen mentioned, then rubbing compound won’t help. Its hard to decide from photo. Give it a try you’ll get to know. When you apply just keep rubbing with your hand or sponge in circular motion until the scratches disappear.

Yeah the paint is only gone. So just wanted clarification.

Yeah, i tried to rub it with toothpaste😁 but that mark didn’t go. It has happened both the sides near the Ather sticker and looks ugly while seeing the Ather sticker. Well which one is best to use for those scratches. Shall i use motomax rubbing compund or waxpool rubbing compund which was suggested by @vijaynu4

I suggest to go for motomax. Since waxpool is 500g, the quantity will not be that much of use for anyone I think.
