Default help!!! scratches w/ rubbing compound

hey guys. well here goes. my xb was shot by a paintball which left a residue that would not come out. i tried to wax it, wash it etc. my friend recommended that i use rubbing compound. im not familar with rubbing compound so i do not know how it works. i used the compound and when i wiped it off, it left white scratches in the paint, and it didnt even take out the residue from the paintball. i tried to wax out the scatches but its not working. does anyone know what i can do to get rid of them?

heres a pic.

Just wondering why did they paintball your car? You could try scratch-x...it comes in a little tube it might work. If that doesnt work there is several scratch removers.
