What you are seeing are not scratches. It is rubber debris from your tires, which occurs in real life on race cars due to the hard driving. You've heard the expression "burning rubber?"... What you are seeing is the literal appearance of burning rubber sticking to the sides of the car... It's a realistic look and is not a bug, and it's an awesome addition to the details of the game.
@Jabberwocky79No, it is not "rubber debris from my tires", and even if it was, it shouldn't be appearing ALL OVER MY CAR after two minutes even when I drive carefully at like 25 mph. Please explain to me how "rubber from my tires" is ending up on the middle of my front bumper and on top of my hood, that makes no sense. It's not "realistic" to have your car look like this after a couple minutes of normal driving, or even spirited driving. I drive a 2017 Mustang GT in real life and I drive the hell out of it, never once have I had anything that looks anything remotely like this on it even after a month of not washing it.
I hope EA patches this in the next update I can't see the dirt anymore.

Congratulations, you own a vehicle. And you "drive the hell out of it," do you? Do you drive your car at an average speed of 120mph everywhere you go, sliding around turns and having the occasional bump and grind with other cars in illegal street races? Because THAT would be an appropriate comparison. So why don't you go out and do that for an evening, then post pictures of your car here for all to see, and we'll figure out if the graphics are all that inaccurate, M'kay?
Now, I DO REALIZE that you have a legitimate complaint about these things showing up in-game even when you are 'taking it easy.' Basically, the devs were trying to simulate what it would look like IRL if you drove your car at 7000 RPMs everywhere you go. My suggestion for a simple fix is to prevent these effects from appearing until after you have participated in an actual race. That way if you leave the garage and you are just wanting to take photos, the grime and rubber won't show up.
The easiest way for EA is to put in a way to deactivate the dirt. When the dirt only was after races it was ok for me, but it also shows up when you drive slow with your friends. And the only way to clean your car is the garage. That's a real disappointment for me. I often take photos and the dirt is really horrible to see. I want to have the dirt like in 2015 or Payback. Or a option to deactivate or repair the car completely in a gas station.

I think that's a perfectly reasonable complaint and good potential solutions. The option in Snapshot Pro to enable or disable car damage should also include the dirt effects. - That might be the simplest solution for them to implement, because it already worked that way in Payback.
