if you're lucky, products like Scratch-X might hide it.

If your fingernail catches the scratch, it's probably too deep to remove and the best you can do is just reduce its appearance a bit....

If you wait time it gets MUCH harder to conceal. Reason? The scratch wears along the edge and all the loose paint particles fall off.

I would think that if a scratch was that deep, reducing it by polishing would be only partially sucessful anyway.

Can you post pics? Because I might be able to tell what you can use to take it out, unless it's too deep. BTW, Sorry about the pain and I hope Maxi will get better soon.
