Scratch repair 101 ??

[gav'spurplez]

My friend has an 06 gto and he has several small scracthes here and there. He has one in which I will use touch up paint and wetsanding to correect. here it is

He also has a spot where the car was hit with an egg, the paint is chipped in many very small spots, it is on the right rear of the bumper almost where it wraps around, like this

Next, there are some more fine scratches that were not removed when polishing, ( i polished and waxed the car in the summer ) one of them is on the bottom from of the 1/4 panel, behind the dooor and the others seem to be from rocks on the highway, front of the right fender....

and another mics scratch

my question is, does anyone have some tips or tricks to correcting the "finer" scracthes ?? what about the egg mark ?? should they be wetsanded and the polished ?? I was bumper from behing in my camaro and i corrected the issue with wetsanding and polishing ( well other than the stress cracks in the paint/clear ) i use a PC 7424 with cutting pads and IP......( among other products )

Any information; experiences, opinions, and/or writeups would be great. thanks

That first one is more of a gouge.. looks like some filler might be needed. The egg mark might be damage/etching to the clearcoat if the egg residue sat in the sun for a day or two, in which case it'll be tough to get out. The rest look doable with some compound. But I'm no expert so I'll defer to the pros.
