I live in Michigan and I drive a standard and all too common Pearl Black Pontiac G6, but she is a beauty and I wash it touchless and no brushes whatsoever.. but the other day at my almost daily trip to Walmart someone leaving pushed a cart into it and while there's no bends or dents from it, i have one single horizontal scratch that travels from taillight to driver door handle and from having detailed cars and boats for the past 6 years you could imagine staring at this all day is driving me INSANE. But Im not sure how I should go about removing it.. or atleast knocking it down a bit until I can sand in spring. My SHED-like 1 car garage has no heat but I do manage to perform my weekly tasks on it. I'm curious as to what I can or should do for this. Maybe rubbing it out by hand with a heavy cut cleaning compound? Or a swirl removing glaze? Or would that be a fail, due to the frigid temps.? What can I do to fix this
 
Picture? Can you catch your fingernail in the scratch? See white primer below? Do you have any compounds already?

If the answer to all is no, and the scratch is in the clear you can at least knock it down with Meguiars Ultimate Compound, the retail version of M105. Follow that up with something about 3-4 on this chart and you should be much happier:

That could hold you until spring
 
I had to edit your post to remove the foul language - AGO is a community with members of all ages, so we try and keep things PG.

Thanks!
 
I'd try and tackle it during the upcoming warm up. It's supposed to be in the 50's sometime this week. Besides product freezing up, residue removal is a real pain in the cold weather.
