Unhappy What to do with scratches??

I have a DB Touring, and a few days ago, I see a scratch on the driver real panel. It's about 3 inches long. It wasn't deep, but when I try to feel it with my nail, I can feel it stopping my nail from gliding further down. (Hope you guys know what I am talking about). This scratch leaves a fine white line on a Blue car, so it is rather obvious! Are there any products that can take care of this light scratch? Thanks!!!

Z5 may make it less noticeable. I have a similiar scratch on my Silverstone and once I put Z5(Zaino) on it and it is allot less noticeable. If you didn't know it was there you would never know. It was also white before the Z5, but now it is almost the color of the Silverstone but a little darker.

You can also buy mild abrasives in auto parts stores that are made specifically for removing this kind of scratch. I used one before when someone keyed my car. It's consistency is like a liquid wax, a thick liquid that you rub into the paint. It's a fine enough abrasive that it won't leave visible scratches, it just polishes the clearcoat down a little.

If you can feel the scratch with your nail, you probably ought to get some of that stuff and use it just on the scratch, then Z5.
