Whats the best way to fix this?

So I was driving on the highway this morning and apparently someones tire shredded all over the place. I tried to avoid it as much as possible but I ran over some pieces at about 80 mph and this is what happened. Whats the best way to get this out without killing the paint?

I would try to thoroughly clean the area, clay bar, and buff the scratches with Meguiar's Scratch X. Might have to do several passes, especially if you're doing it by hand. Don't forget to wax the area after.

Buy a front lip and cover it.

Why not just start with some water and a microfiber cloth and see if you get most of it out? The spot that it is in combined with the color of the mark will be pretty hard to see. I'm pretty paranoid about scratches/dings on my car but it is most likely not worth really worrying about this one.

i am going to wash it this weekend and see how much will come off. Will Meguiar's Scratch X leave any kind of swirls or anything?

If used on a dirty surface it will. I use it all the time since some of the cars I sell end up having scratches on them. I highly recommend using Meguiar's foam applicator pad for working it in. Use small amounts per pass since you want to basically work it until it's just a haze. Wipe remaining residue with a microfiber cloth.

Here is an example of some scratches on my friend's car that I fixed.

I have more examples if you would like to see. I just don't want to spam your thread.

Looks like it may come out with some rubbing compound
