Minor scratches

Anyone know the best way to make scratches less noticeable. My car is silver and has very slight scratches on one of the sides. Its hardly notiecable unless you look closely but still one of those annoying things. Sorry if the question sounds noobish.

Buff it out? Touch up paint?

Cheapest route...ignore them. Second cheapest, mild rubbing compound and good old elbow grease followed by polish. If that doesn't work it gets expensive...fast. I have a scratch removal arsenal for when I detail cars it consists of:
Dewalt 849 Buffer
3M Buffing pads (6 each w/varying useages)
3M Finesse-It Polish
Presta 1500 compound
Presta 1000 compound
Presta 2000 compound
Sandpapers of various grits
Waxes....and thensome

Not cheap to get out scratches if the above doesn't work.
