I think you need to provide a little more detail if you want any real help. Some pics wouldn't hurt either.

depends on how deep the scratch is. If it doesn't catch your fingernail whiel you run your hand accross it, then you can use a ScratchX or Scratch Doctor to buff it out

I think you're going to need, more than a simple method.

Try a search on Langka here and the web. I read some good stuff here about their product. It uses the OEM touch-up paint and there formula to actually fill and finish the scratch so you cannot tell it was even there. (well according to the folks here and on the lanka.com site). I just got my kit on Tues. and I'm waiting for the rain to stop so that I can try it. They've also got a wet sand kit to take out minor scratches.

I am going to post my results with the kit when I'm done. Hopefully I'll be able to do it this weekend.

are you high?....telling this guy to use touch up paint on something like that?.....i dont care what planet your on but touch up will not help that issue and you neef to get the fender stripped and re-painted now to fix that....if you try and compound it or touch it up then you will be in for one ugly fix that will always be noticeable
