Need help wheel chair paint scratch

The MINI is my daily ride now and seems to be more vulnerable to wear and tear. Pulled into a convenience store today for a Pepsi and a young guy in motorized wheel chair pulls up as I was getting out of MINI. He is very interested in the car. Liked it a lot and ask many question. As he moved past the car the wheel chair caught the car and left a very slight 4-inch scratch. He apologized, I told him not to worry about it. I was hoping there is a quick fix. Does anyone have any a simple method to remove the scratch? At first it was very white. After rubbing it with wet cloth the scratch has turned slightly grey looking. The MINI is hyper blue MCS05. Is there a product available to apply to the scratch and to buff it out? I'm sure this is not going to be the last scratch. 9 months and 15,000 miles.

Get a bottle of 3M Perfect-it Swirl Mark Remover. It retails for around $8-$10 at your nearest autoparts store. The product is sold in 2 versions: For "Dark Colored" and "Light Colored" cars. I believe you need the latter.

Follow up with your favorite wax.
