Get a bottle of touch up paint. A medical suringe. And inject a thin line of paint into the scratch. Then when it dries and hardens wet sand it till its blended evenly with the rest of the paint. Polish and wax it u wont be able to tell there was a scratch there. Dont use the crappy brush touch ups that make things look more obviouse and worse. I wouldnt mess with clearcoat. Just fill in the scratch so its not visible.

This "scratch is much too wide, it needs spot or long spot repair. I used to spot repair for a living it was very doeble with the first generation clearcoats. ecpecially white.
