scratches - best way to handle them

that dreaded moment when you notice the first scratches ...
I got what looks like some stone chips around the back wheel arch. Anybody got any recommendation on what product might be able to cover them up as much as possible (dark grey)?

Take it to Car Spa or similar. I think they charge R300/panel for that kind of thing if I'm not mistaken.

Useless panelbeater - find a better one.

The colour code is 37J for satin pearl white which is actually a Subaru colour.

Just saw a long red scuff mark on the bottom tip of my front bumper.
No idea where it came from and it's visible if you stand in front of the car

I hope it comes out with some strata polish.
