That will need touchup paint. Get a close match from the auto parts store and apply the paint very finely with a toothpick...not the big brush in the bottle.

What kind of car first off? If it`s got a soft clear, you may be able to get away with wetsanding and buffing it out.



I know of fords, infinities and many others, they can be sanded and buffed out without touch up.



However, it may still need a little touch up, just depends on how deep.



I`ve gotten some deep one`s out before without touch up but they had soft clears.

The below pics are on a GM/Saturn Aura which are known for "hard" clear..



I polished those out using PC/Yellow CCS Pad / mix of Menzerna SIP & Danase Swirl Abolisher 3

Infinity has soft clear, I`d bet you could get it out without touch up.



Here`s some pics of an 05 G35 I sanded and buffed some scratches out of to give you some hope.



But you need to know what you`re doing before you attempt something like this, so do your research on this forum and I`m sure you`ll figure out how to do it.
