Why??
So I'm guessing someone doesn't like me or something why is it when you try to keep your car so nice and clean crap like this happens. I walked out from the store one day and came out to a long scratch on my car. I feel like I've tried everything to get it out but I'm guessing it needs to be repainted. :/ any advice from my fellow pony members?

No it still feels smooth actually. I might just try that as well then thanks. And yea I drive it everyday and understand things happen but when you like to take care of things that u own it kinda sucks.

Hard to tell from that pic but as mentioned: if you run your nail on it and can feel a grove then it needs painting.
1. Meguiars scratch x 2.0
2. Micro fiber towels
3. Liquid wax
A scratch like that's a better taken off by hand working gently in circles and waxing in between buff sessions. Don't scrub in the same direction. You don't want to burn your paint so plan on spending a half hour on that.
That looks like a shopping cart did that.

Forgot to add: you will notice the scratch start to haze a bit after you buff. It will look similar to crystal from certain angles. If that makes sense. Thats the clear coat getting cut and filling in. That's why you apply wax in between buffing. The haze is more apparent on black cars.
Make sure you wash that area also before applications.

Another vote here for the Scratch-X ... I've used it on the Stang and on my Focus with pretty good results
