If you can put your nail in the scratch, you cannot buff it.

You would need to put some touch up paint.

i picked up some touch up paint from http://www.paintscratch.com/ bought the small nail brush bottle type. the brush is kinda big for small scratches, i bought some small detail brushes from a hobby store and they worked perfectly. and the match is dead on. i've tried the pens from the dealer and they suck.

pen does suck... what i used was the pen with a soft brush to fill in the scratch or you can use the filter part of a cig. That usually works for touch up
