Then it will depend upon how fussy you are about your boat.
Many here will tell you to get a gelcoat repair kit and fill the gouges. You will have to do some finish sanding and polishing to make the repair seamless. Be prepared for a fair amount on elbow grease....
If this were mine, I would do what I did for the black hull of my PWC. I went to Pep Boys and picked up a bottle of Turtle Wax black colored liquid car polish. Put it on...towel rubbed it when it dried...and my scratches were all but disappeared.
This is probably a really stupid question, but, being well known for those, I'm going to ask anyway. How can I tell whether it's just on top of the gelcoat or gouged into it?
a gouge is very evident when the fiberglass layer is seen through the scratch, I have several on mine from incidents docking when I first started. Yours look more like surface scratches. Joe

I've removed quite a few scuff marks and scratches by simply using a good polish.
Deeper ones I have got rid of by lightly using a rubbing compound and then polish.
Acetone won't hurt gelcoat. Not sure about a corvet? If that's corvette - they are painted fiberglass, and I would expect the acetone could do bad things to the paint. But it's a different animal from gelcoat.
