I have so many scratches on my car due to other people opening their car door without holding the end of the door. What would be the best way to restore the color? I Also had some small dents hear and there.
 
If the scratch is only light then some cutting polish should suffice, Tcut or the G range work well for me.

If the scratch is deeper then you really need to use a touch up pen, some wet & dry paper and finish with a cutting polish and then apply some wax.

Have a read of this article on stone chips, the process is similar for scratches when you need to apply paint http://www.torquecars.com/articles/stone-chip-removal.php

Thanks you, the article is very helpful.
 
chances are unless its a very heavy cut polish then you wont be able to do much by hand.

strong solution of APC to clean and degease the area and rinse off.
then neat IPA to remove any traces of anything else.
if its not through to the metal then touch up colour allow to dry, sand down a bit
apply laquar allow to dry then wetsand flat
polish up by machine
