*PrinzII, need help.* Have minor scratch (not nail deep) on hood. What to use?

I have a small scratch on the hood of my car. You can't feel it with your nail at all and it's very thin. I was wondering what could I use to treat it and make it look less noticeable (or even not noticeable, if at all possible).

im no prinz what kind of product are you intending to use?
over the couter or more of a professional grade?
are u applying this by hand or or u goin to use a pc?
some good otc products are meguiars scratch x and 3m rubbing compound. with the 3m rubbing compound you will need to apply a polish afterward to min the marring (not sure that the word)
of courzse prinz will have a better way

I'm not Prinz either, but I doubt it....

Start with a consumer grade scratch remover (Meguiar's or Mothers for example) and see how that does first. They are fairly foolproof to use.

Technically, for a scratch like that, ScratchX would be the best bet. After the Scratch X, follow up with a polish and then wax.

I would recommend Klasse all-in-one - it will clean, and in the process hide the scratch by "polishing" it out - have used it for years and it works great! You can always follow it up with NXT to add that better-than-showroom finish! Hope it works - it does for me...

Klasse All In One? Doubtful....

NXT will probably remove any AIO protection. I can think of cheaper, more effective products for scratches and simple surface prep than AIO.
