Your recommendation on dealing w/a scrape

I don't remember it happening but apparently my garage nipped the fender of my silver Acura TL causing a scrape a few inches long vertically on the fender. It doesn't look too deep and I'm pretty sure it can be buffed out some way...but that's not my area of expertise. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.

How deep is the scratch, can you feel it with a fingernail?

Pic and other info

I'm not around my car right now but this picture is pretty much the severity: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25639089@N08/4698492997/

I can only feel the scratches with my nail slightly.

Try something like scratch-X if you don't have a PC but understand you will need to spend a LONG time working the product. If you have a PC, hit it with some light polish on a pad and see what develops. You may find that the after effect is much smaller of a defect than you are seeing right now.
