Try buffing it out -- I think even places like Target sells the clearcoat buffing compounds.

If you can catch the scratch by dragging you finger nail across it, you will be hard-pressed to buff it out. Touch-up paint, wet sanding or body shop time more than likely.
The Scratch-X should help, but as mentioned above, the fact that you can catch it with your nail suggests that it's gonna be tough to remove completely. It's a good place to start. To really get at it, you will probably need a pro w/ an rotary buffer.
Sounds like you'll have a chance with ScratchX then. Just rub until your arm falls off. It may take multiple applications.
Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.
