Default Removing minor scratches

I've just noticed two minor scratches on my fez :(. One is like 2cms and the other is about 5cms.
Anyone know good tips as to how we can remove minor scratches?
Touch-up paints? some "scratch removal" products?

Thanks,

Ivan

Seeing that your Fez is brand spanking new perhaps take it back to the dealer and see if they will sort it out for ya for nothing, they will have professional detailers either on staff or coming in and detailing their cars for them, unfortunately of course that is one of the problems of having a black car, you will notice every minor scratch or mark on it.

If you cant feel them with your fingernail they will come out. My advice wouldnt be to go to a Car yard detailer as half the time they really dont have a clue. Try a pannel shop and get them to take it out. A quick hit with some 1500wet and dry and then a buzz with some 3000 and buff it will be gone.

If they are "minor" then some Meguires(sic) Scratch X is pretty good...

Yeah, Cumberland Ford just called me up to see how the car is going etc etc. And I told her that the fez has 2 minor scratches (~1.5cm each), She said drop by and see what they can do Hopefully they'd buff it out or something, we'll see.
