Default Scratch on vehicle

I discovered a light scratch, on the rear quarter panel of my vehicle, and was wondering what the best course of action is. The scratch seems to have only affected the clear coat and does not seem deep. My concern is since my vehicle is grey, the scratch stands out (appears white in color). What can I do to hide the scratch? Which products out there would help?

Clay the part first to get rid of crap around the scractch. Then use a quality polish and follow with some carnuba wax and that should take care of most of it depending on how deep the scratch is.

One thing i learn about, car wash is that it save you time but at the same time, it scratches your car.
JUST A PROSEDURES ON HOW TO WASH YOUR CAR AND LEAVING NO SCRATCHES. BEHIND.
1. with the hose spray the car.to take all the dirt off.

2. with a bucket with water and a lint free towel, go around your car as if you where drying it but make sure you sumerge the towel in the bucket full of water many times so all the dirt the you are wiping off, of your vehicle doesn't scratch the paint either.and then once you are done.

3. you can wash your car. but wait not with a brush or a cotton towel either
but with a nother new lint free towel. that you are going to use jus for washing . and then hose it with water and dry it with a chamois towel.and once you know it you have the same new paint that you got from the dealer.
