wel.... u could put some nos stickers on it...
lol
that all depends. what color is the car? white and black can be touched up with some auto paint by an airbrush pretty easily. Any colors might require some matching.
i have some nasty ones on a new bumper that i have, and a couple areas i want to touch up. luckily my stang is black. i just need some flex additive and some fine sandpaper for wetsanding and i can do it myself.
you could always just get yer insurance deductable set down to 100 bucks, wait a month or two and have a friend pull a H&R where the scratch is and have the insurance company pay for it.
lol....

If you are down to the primer, there is not much you can do. If it is just the clear coat, it is a pretty easy fix.
Essentially, you need something abrassive. If the scratch is light enough, you can use something as simple as a clay bar or a polish. If it is a bit deeper, polishes may still work, but it might take a lot of elbow grease to get it rubbed down.
The pro's use polish with a wheel to get these out quicker, but you can do more damage if you don't know what you are doing.
There are tons of products out there like Scratch X, but they are all just one type of polish. I have personally found that Scratch X is extremely mild and is not abrassive enough for the tough ones, but I know some people like it.
If the primer is exposed, you really need to have the door painted. If it is deep enough, I am not sure if there is any way to fix it.
