What should i do to remove a few surface scratches

hello all, i just purchased my g37s sport in liquid silver and absolutely love the car. a few days ago, my brother pointed out to me that i had a black scratch on my passenger door. this mark is bothering the hell out of me. is there anything i can do to remove it? if worst came to worst and i had to get it re painted, how much would the dealer charge to fix it? the scratch looks like its a surface mark and its not a deep one like a car that has been keyed. anything would help i just want this thing gone i would take pics but its raining pretty bad hear in nyc. thanks in advance

You can try by bringing it to a detailer and have them buff it. It worked on some of my clients before if it's just surface scratches.

Does it look like paint is been removed from the surface or does it look like abrasion ? Abrasion can be fixed by polishing with an orbital buffer. My mom dropped a lamp on my car and I thought it was ****ed but I fixed it with A portercable and Menzerna polish

use scratchX if that doesn't work go to a detailer to polish them out. if it didn't break the clear coat you should be fine with any of these options
