Default Scratch

Ive got a pretty small scratch on the right side on the bottom of the rear door. My body isn't dented or anything. What can I do to fix it? Would it be a good idea to get one of the paint pens and touch it up? Im just seeing what the best solution would be. Thanks.

Grant

Here's the quick and dirty:

Clean the area around the scratch (and the scratch itself) with soap and water, let it dry. Apply touch up paint on the scratch as accurately as you can. Let it dry for about 10 minutes, then use a rubbing compound followed by polishing compund to buff the area as much as possible. Wash it again, then wax.

There's probably a more professional way to do this, but the above procedure works for me pretty well.
