I am really sorry to hear about your car. Unfortunately this isn’t a scratch. For a scratch to be removed there has to be enough clear coat for removal. Looking at these scuffs it appears this is well beneath the clear coat and in some areas to the bare panel. Assuming these are just scuffs with no other damage, you are going to need someone to sand down to the bare panel and repaint. The shop may tell you that more than the applied areas needs to be painted and that is for a good reason, the same paint doesn’t always match perfectly. The damage could also be worse than what I stated, hard to tell without seeing it in person. Good luck, and again, sorry to hear about your car!
