Default Scratch on Redline..HELP

I just noticed a thin scratch above my gas tank about 2 feet long. Its a very thin scratch like maybe the tip of a key. It isn't very deep at all. I own the zaino kit, but any help on what to do to remove the scratch, or make it less noticable. Help...THanks in advance.

If it is a light scratch, you can probably polish it to remove it. If it is a deeper scratch, you can wet sand, buff, then polish. If the scratch is through the paint, you will need touch up paint to fill the scratch. Then wet sand, buff, polish, and repeat if necessary.

Default Wet Sand

Will Wet sanding dull the paint around the scratch though if I do it? I am a little hesitant to put sand paper on my car.

yea it would dull the paint but then you would need to buff, polish, and wax afterwards to bring the shine back
