Suggestions on fixing my freshly scratched paint

I've always been worried about hitting somthing when making sharp turns because of how long the hood is on 3rd gens so I've been extra careful..
but the other day I got ****y and decided I could make such a turn.. and didnt.
It was like a 0.5mph collision, but it cracked the paint up by my headlights and left some nasty scratches below that
and I have no idea how to fix scratches, any suggestions?
Heres a pic if it works:

see post farther down
"best scratch remover out there"
even though I cant see the pic you posted it might give you ideas.
or you can just repost and maybe then we can tell you how bad the damage is.
btw that sucks -- I did it too and had to replace the bumper.
