anything i can get from dealer to remove minor scratches?

for some stupid reason, i thought my small street bike could fit in my trunk when obviously it didn't. as i was taking it out i accidently scratched the back of my car. now i have 3 small visible scratches showing, and i think one of them went through the clearcoat of paint
anything i can get to fix it?

See what you can rub out first. The problem with touch up paint is that too much looks bad.

Polshing won't work for the damage that has permeated the clear coat. If you have an orbital buffer you should try using light cuting product to see how much abrasion can be removed; if that doesnt work trying using a medium cutting polish.

If paint has been removed or the base paint has been damage, you can try using touch up main.

Show us pics so we can give better advice.
