On the DIY solution. Get touch up paint, fill it in with a fine tip applicator. Let it sit for a day. Fill in more until the dried paint is slightly above the original paint. Don’t apply too much all at once.
Use these.

Then remove the excess by rubbing with a damp microfiber cloth.

My car got vandalized a couple of years ago and I had a mobile detail/touch-up service come fix it. You cannot tell that there was damage or that anything ever got fixed. They also touched up a get rock chips in the hood and bumper while they were at it. It cost less than 1/3 of what body shops were quoting me and I got to keep driving my car since they took only a few hours at my office. ??

Looks like a ❤ symbol trying to tell you something. You should PPF it to protect this. Years from now the value of your MME is zero but with that symbol it would be priceless. Because it would be from your 4.5 year kid who turned 45 with a kid of his/her own. And you can say to your grandchild "This is what your dad/mom did. And I love it."

That's your Hallmark moment.

Dang don't think that's coming out easy, might as well just put some googly eyes on it and keep it as art.

A good PDR Company should be able to get that looking good again.

Paintless Dent Repair? It needs paint and doesn't have a dent.
Yes, a quality PDR also does scratch - they use an air gun to spray if needed.

rule of thumb is, if you can catch it with your fingernail, it won't come out through paint correction. A polish will remove the white appearance of the scratch to minimize it but your best option, aside from a full color/clear blend is to take some touch up paint and get that in the scratch, wet sand it flush with the surrounding paint, then polish. It won't be perfect, but it will be much better.
