Squirt a dime sized ball on the rag then scrub it on the scratch. You can repeat this as many times until you see more of a difference.
Nail Polish
Yes, you can use nail polish to help remove a scratch. Some scratches are so bad or too deep you can’t buff them out and even them out unless it’s done so professionally.

Coming in a variety of colors, choose one that best fits the closeness to your car’s paint color. Paint thin even coats and let dry.

WD-40
