If you know they are beyond the clear coat, than all you can do is polish to reduce the scratch, and get a good wax with lots of carnuba to fill it in as best as possible. If they are in the clear coat, a good machine polish with something other than a direct drive buffer would be great. There are dedicated random action buffers, like the porter cable one at www.griotsgarage.com , that can machine polish to superior results easily. After that a good waxing and you may be lucky enough to remove and hide a vast majority of the marks. Keep up on the waxing, and from there you should be in good shape. Just try and make sure to use 100 percent terry cloth towels, or if possible, 100 percent cotton cloths with no polyester threads. Wash regularly and make sure that there is not dirt in your washing apparatus. Avoid from dry toweling and or wet wiping down.
