There are grey scratches on my white car - as circled in the photo - what are the best ways of fixing it?

wax / polish / ... ?

Thanks,
Gab

Those areas look just to have topical stains of some sorts, you can easily clean them off using either a light paint cleaner, also called a pre-wax cleaner or a cleaner/wax.

You could also use a quality polish by hand or machine.

If you use any option other than a cleaner/wax remember to apply some wax afterwards.

Also, Imageshack doesn't like displaying your pictures for some reason, I simply stole the URL address code and clicked over to your account to see the pictures.

You have a gallery here and if you use it there won't be any issues sharing your pictures and they'll always be here instead of disappearing over time.

What Mike said

I created a photo bucket account and that's what a lot of people use for uploading images on the forum. Works pretty well.

The photo gallery we have here on AG is it available using my phone?

Did those come from using a Speedy Towel for claying? Most marks and discoloration will come off by using clay. If that doesn't work then as mentioned above a pre-wax cleaner, cleaner wax, or just a finishing polish work well. It looks like it needs polished anyway so you can kill 2 birds with one stone.
