yup. How deep is the scratch? A deep one might need some coarse sanding first. A very light one may just polish out with toothpaste or T-Cut.

Micromesh yes, but sometimes if it's a small or hairline one I find a couple of applications of Klear will make it disappear.

Thanks folks.
On further inspection it looks more like a smudge. I'll try klear and if that doesn't work a bit of toothpaste. Finally Micromesh if the first 2 options fail.

All good ways of removing scratches, another way is using a nail buffer, I have one that's has 7 different grades from shaping to shining, normally use the buffing grit then finish with the shining grit, comes up perfect every time
