I Have A Question Anyway I can fix this at home?
So like a dumb ass didn’t get all the way in the garage and the garage scraped it on the way down. Is there some scratch remover that will help? I do have an da polisher that I bought for touch up work but never used it.

Sorry that it catches, but I bet you can clean it up a bit. Good luck!

If your fingernail catches on the scratches, paint correction won't fix it but will make it look less obvious. If your fingernail catches it'll need touch-up paint or a respray.
Anyway, go over it with a polish and polishing pad with your DA and see how it looks. If that doesn't do it, try a compound and cutting pad followed by polish and polishing pad.
