How deep is the scratch? Very Light scratch -- Paste Wax, Light Scratch -- TurtleWax Polishing Compound then Wax, Scratch -- TurtleWac Rubbing Compound, Polishing Compound then Wax, Deep Scratch -- Touchup Paint

A good rule of thumb is if you can feel the scratch with a fingernail it's not going to be removed with compound. So if you can't feel it, go with ^ those steps.
