How would i get scratches (pretty deep ones) out of my CF? It's not all the way in, it's just in the clear stuff on top...but it's deep. Any rubbing compounds or anything that might help? My car alarm starting going off and some dogs attacked my FD Scratched up my fender (really good, but was going to repaint it anyways) and my CF hood. I swear, I have no luck with this car.

It depends on what the top coat of the carbon fibre is to how to fix it.
If it is a car clear coat then you could wet & dry it (fine paper 800 or 1200) back, making sure you don't rub through the top coat and then buffing compound then polish.
If it is a gelcoat top coat then it should be a lot harder and will may require more work with sanding. (MAKE SURE YOU DON'T RUB THROUGH!)
You may be able to get it clear coated when you get the rest painted.

You could find the expensive resin (I think it's called tooling resin) used to cast the resin, and fill it in.

 

You can try using some fine rubbing compound and then some machine glaze with a buffer, but with a scratches that deep, it's sometimes a little beyond the application purpose of compound and glazing. You can try to use a fine pinstriping brush and color fill it with a dark gray/black if the compound and glaze doesn't work. And of course wax your car if you happen to do any of the above. Of course wait until the paint dries if you decide to brush touch your CF. Just some thoughts.
