Shovel, Crowbar, Baseball bat? In all seriousness get yourself a some colour coded paint in a pen or dab it on with a cotton tip. Give the whole thing a wax and polish

If they're not deep at all, they can probably be buffed out. Find a reputable detailed in your area and have them take a look for you. You'd be surprised what can be removed with a rotary tool and the right pad and compound. Of course, if they're through the clear, you'll need to use some touch up paint as others have suggested.

Buy from Walmart
I would not advise you to use this product from your link, i tried same product on my other BMW and color did not match right, you can buy Tuttle pen from Walmart.

Sorry I should clarify - If your colour is Black, White or Silver then get the pen but any other colour and to be honest my preferred option regardless of colour get a pressure pack colour matched to your paint code and spray some into the lid then get a cotton tip and use it that way, be as accurate as you can - a little paint goes a long way and it should "stick" to the scratch
