Scratches after ceramic coating

I have my X5 ceramic coated - Ceramic Pro ION. It’s my first time ceramic coating my vehicle, so I’m not too familiar with how to continue protecting and maintaining the coating - other than using the proper PH neutral cleaning products.

I recently washed the car and noticed some scratches on the side of my Black Sapphire paint(from a light car contact or a shopping cart potentially).

My question is - what is the best way to buff this -or any light scratches for that matter - out? I don’t think it is deep enough to damage the paint, but it’s easy to see the scratches. Is there a specific product to us that would work well with the ceramic coating? Will the coating be damaged at this point if the scratch is buffed out - will I need to pay the shop to re-apply the coating? Any help is much appreciated.
