bonoz- That's right. As long as a scratch isn't so deep that it exposes bare metal or the basecoat of paint (under the clear on basecoat/clearcoat finishes), marring is merely a cosmetic concern and strictly an eye-of-the-beholder issue.
[Heck], if the marring doesn't bother you, you could *never* remove it and no harm done. Heh heh, this sounds like another case where continued exposure to Autopia has given the impression that nothing short of perfection is acceptable
With your time running short, I'd consider just waxing it with something like Collinite. If you want to go a step farther, you could apply a user-friendly and filler-rich polish/glaze and *then* the Collinite and it'll look swell until at least mid-spring.
For that matter, and not to open a whole 'nother can of worms...it sounds like the
Menzerna approach (no fillers, use it until it mechanically provides the appearance you want) might not be best for you. Maybe a polish like 1z, which both corrects *and* conceals, topped with a heavy carnauba (e.g., the Collinite 746S or maybe
Blitz) would give acceptable (to you) results with a reasonable (to you) amount of time and effort.
I get caught between a) not approving of a long struggle to master a product and b) a reluctance to say a person's problems can be solved by switching to another product
