Default Scratch remover products (Need advice)

I washed my car today, and noticed two 1/4 inch scratches on the top of the passenger side quarter panel, needless to say I was not happy. Is there a product I should try to remove them with? or should I just take it to a body shop and not mess around. In the past I have used rubbing compound to remove fine scratches, but these look a little deeper. Help!

you can order the touch up paint from the dealership. it will cost you around 8-10 dollars. You can try to blend the paint. i recommend to take your car to a paint shop and have them finish the work for you. This also works when HATERS KEys Our sk2's. happened to me once... but ya this works.

If your finger nail catches the scratch and say it's down to the primer then some touch of paint is your next best bet. If on the other hand its a surface scratch you can have it machine polished out or you can try and use something by hand. It may not remove it like a machine would.

Go to the Wash and Wax forum please. There are tons of knowledgable people over there who would love to point you in the right direction.
