depends on how much you wanna spend, my vibe had a few lil minor scratches but we have a guy come in called carsmetics, he does professional touch ups and stuff(which i didnt have to pay for since they were when i picked the vibe up)..but he doesnt charge all that muchon the old car i used the gm touch up paint and it worked ok...the paint matched up pretty good..just the whole part of it not being smooth that made it look bad..but if you wet sand it or something and give it a clear..it may work

Paintscratch.comEnter in your vehicle...your paingt code is 90U/WA238M which they call Shadow Grey. I have a Neptune Vibe and the color match was spot on. All the extras needed also.

If the scratch is through the paint, paintscratch like psiu mentioned... to get touch up paint... If it's just into the clear, you might want to try some Mothers or Meguires polish which is tipicaly used before wax to fill light scratches and then the wax fill more after... it's great for "spider web" scratching that you simply cannot avoid... Look through Whelan detailing posts for more info... or IM Whelan directly... he is the resident detail master here..
