Pictures of the scratches?

Are you trying to remove these by hand? Do you regularly polish or wax your car?

If you're going to use any sort of scratch repair product, I'd go with ScratchX. But we would need to see pictures of the scratches to give you a real answer.

ive used scratchX before. Its decent, but not amazing. if your car is dark its not going to make a huge difference, if its light it will do a little better

I might try clay before a filler, just to be sure it's actually scratched and not left-over adhesive from the spoiler.

+1 also try a bug and tar remover like stoner tarminator
it will be pretty tough getting those fixed by hand if the are deep scratches
