Spot looks to be from an egg to me?

Then the scratch on the door handle face, and the fingernail marks underneath the handles on both sides.

this is on my wifes new car, It's already gotten a nice polish/sealant, but I couldn't get these marks off.

ScratchX2.0 from megs is really good on those small spots. As far as the other stuff I have no clue maybe handz will chime in.

Id hit the inner part of the handle with some polish by hand. I dont know about the deep looking scratch on the handle itself. My F150 got egged and I never got it out.

I realize it's just a joke, but my wife did not cause this damage, we bought the car last week.

They sell stuff at autoparts stores that help reduce those marks. I had some oxidation on my roof and I used some stuff specially for that from Turtle Wax. It's best to use a buffer pad by hand for tight corners. Once you apply it, the first time it won't look like anything helped, but after a few coats, it's starts to become less noticeable.
You could also try what the dealers did to my car before I had time to notice: use a sharpy, lol.

I don't think you can do anything about the egg, it's probably spider cracking.

idk about the egg bt you could try and get some of those scratches on the handle out by hand. itll take longer, but i think it will be worth it seeing how clean the car already is.

Egg is a bitch if it has been left sitting for a long period of time.

For the the hard to reach scratches try one of the little mothers balls and some fine scratch remover. I just used one of the the larger ones and was surprised how well it worked. I am going to pick up one of the smaller head ones myself for under the door handle and around the rear license plate area etc.
