The trunk of my ES has scratches on it.

You can't feel them when you run your finger over it so thankfully it's just the clear coat.

Is this something that can be fixed with buffing or is it more serious than it looks?

Those will come out with any rubbing compound. No worries. Be worried when your trunk and rear bumper have a bunch of random mysterious rock chips all over it like mine. And ive only had the car a month.

Will come off! I would try a good wax before buffing compound.

Oh man im sorry to hear that. That's a hard one to explain if it's on the rear.

The scratches were more visible before the used some toothpaste and a toothbrush to get the colour out but it still left the clear coat streaks. I already used wax and it polished it but didn't get it out. I'll try out a rubbing compound.

Those will easily come off with some correction compound! I used to work in detailing so this one works magic for me. Just remember to apply wax after because the compound strips all the wax on previously.

Yeah I dont know if the car was on the dealer lot next to lawn care weedwackin the grass or what. It just looks like an abnormal amount of tiny little rock chips in the plastic bumper for only being a month old.
