Fixing light body scratches

Has anyone used the products sold at places like
http://www.paintscratch.com/ or http://www.paint-scratch-repair.com/ for
fixing light scratches?  I've used regular touch up paint in the past and I
guess my hand is not very steady as I always end up with blobs of paint in a
scratch.  Sometimes I think it looks worse than the scratch.

TIA

Have you ever tried one of those Nissan paint pens? I bought one from this
site a long time ago:

Never used those products.
Are these surface scratches, or down to the metal?
If the former, I have found that "Scratch Out", made by 'Kit' works
great on small surface scratches. You can find it at most auto stores.
Look for a yellow plastic bottle in the polish and waxes aisle. You
might also try Polishing compound.

try running your finger nail over the scratch if it snags then the scratch
is to deep to be remove by polishing compound. Touch-up is your only
alternative other then repainting the whole area.

I can feel that the scratch is to the metal.  Thanks, I'll try one of the
NISSAN pens.

Thanks to all!
