Saw a small 'green' scratch today... be worried?

I was giving my G35 an ONR wash today and by the time I went over to the driver side panel, I noticed a half an inch horizontal scratch that caught my eye.

I wish I can take a picture (no camera and my camera phone won't probably show it irght) but it doesn't seem to be a 'deep' scratch as I ran my finger over it softly and I didn't feel any ridges on the scratch. The color is kind of what kind of makes me think twice though...

It did not come off by using ONR on it nor a quick detailer. I'm just curious as heck to why as it's sort of green...

Should I even be worried about this?

most likely cause is that a green car opened his door and hit your car

Do you have polish and a PC or flex? If not, take it to a detailer. They'll probally charge $20, or something, to get it out.

Or go to your local auto store and get some scratch-x from meguiars. Rub it in vigorously and it should be gone. For about 5 bucks.

You do not even need to polish this scratch out. If you have a piece of clay it will remove it; if not get a cleaner wax from any store like Mothers Cleaner Wax. It will remove that scratch.
