Removing a deep scratch?

I came out to my car this morning and found a nasty scratch on the driver side rear quarter panel.....it starts a little before the gas tank and ends right before the tail light.

I can see the white primer underneath, so its pretty deep.

Can anyone recomend any products that can atleast help me hide it, I dont think I will be able to fix it 100% without paint.

A number of professional detailers post there. Also, use the search feature and you'll see a number of threads on scratches, like these:

Lastly, a pic would be helpful.

From what you have posted, you will not be able to eliminate that scratch without a repaint and blend of the panel. If you are skilled with a paint pen, you could probably reduce the appearance of the scratch.

Post a close-up picture or stop by a local body shop for suggestions.

good luck and sorry for you loss .... I hate imperfections in the paint myself.
