I think most of it will buff out. But, pretty sure you're going to need someone with a machine and some know how. Pretty sure you're out of ScratchX's league.

For the heck of it, I would try 3M hand glaze on a spot just to see the effectiveness. If it works fairly well, use a rotary buffer, with a foam pad and work it well. If that doesn't work, then I would either...
1. find a really good detailer/painter to repair/repaint & hand the bill to the GF or
2. wet sand the paint with 3000 grit, using a drop of liquid soap to a bucket of water or spray bottle to ensure viscosity, wet sand all the panels then with the orbital buffer use 3M finisse II to polish, then hand glaze and wax...should look very nice. Remember, use a flexible sanding block/pad (don't sand with just your hand, causes a varience of pressure points), lots of wetness, use a thin masking tape and cover the panel edges & body seams to avoid paint damage caused by buffer and sanding (those areas are typically raised slightly higher than the rest of the panel surface).

Hmm - I think I'd try to do it with chemicals and a buffer before I'd wetsand it. To me, that's something best left to a pro.

I saw the pictured and almost cried. I love my wife but dayum, she'd have to go after that.
