Car got keyed really bad! Help please!
Hi all, I recently got some terrible key scratches on my car that are both very large and deep and I was wondering if you guys could share your expertise and give me any advice on how I should go about fixing it. Attached are pictures of the scratches on the car. It is definitely deep enough to where I can feel them with my fingernails and in some spots, the original paint has already chipped off.
I was thinking about possibly trying to first fill the scratches with touch up, wetsanding, and then polishing them out, but I'm not really sure on what wetsanding consists of as I've never done that before. I plan on purchasing this polishing starter kit from detailer's domain:

So what do you guys think? Thanks in advance!

Repaint dude.. sorry. Not even wetsanding/polishing will solve those. They are all the way to the primer (the white at the bottom of the scratch). I guess if you didn't like sebring silver.. there's a silver lining?

Gotta repaint that bro, sorry to see that man, people are an assholes that's for sure.
Rough times thats for sure....
There is nothing but broken glass on our street. When I say every other car has been broken in to, I am not over exaggerating. When friends drive down my street you just see piles of glass.
Some one attempted to steal my rims 5 months ago and bent my side skirt, alarm went off I ran out in my boxers.
Times are rough, people resorting to being thieves.
