Should I use Touch-up Paint or not?

I have some small key scratches on my car and i bought some factory touch-up paint to cover them up with. Should i use some of the paint, or can i get them out using a glaze or something like that? Thanks for the input.

How deep are these scratches? Through the clear coat? Down to the primer/metal/what? Does your fingernail catch them?

If they're not that deep or serious, I would try some kind of mildy abrasive polish. Better to remove them rather than just cover them up (they would return later). Scratch-X is popular and Mothers also makes a scratch remover too. These may or get them out all the way, but you have to really work it in and rub it thoroughly to use the abrasive action (it's mild, don't worry). Sometimes it may take more than one application. HTH, good luck!
