that little curve in the middle is the scratch

 
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.
