Those scratches will come out with some Perfect-It 3000 on a clean cloth diaper and a good bit of elbow grease. Then Scratch-X and Zymol.

If this is a new Rick under warranty, I'd call Kenny or Richard at Rick Customer Service and shoot some pictures over to them as well. This should be covered ...
