Post some pics up and we can let you know if we think it can be removed by a detailer. None-the-less, don't go the insurance route.. It's not worth it.
Sorry to hear about that man! Good Luck. Post pics if you can and we can give you some advice.

I don't know if that was worth waiting outside in the winter for 2 hours.. happened at a mall parking lot.. the dent zone.

hm but i felt the rock, i was driving hear something rolling(travelling or whatever) by the side of my car right after the car infront made a lane change to the left. I was like ohhh ****tt... I was going around 70mph at the time. Would stuff like scratch X help or mess things up even worse?
What if I filed a claim under vandalism since it does look like someone keyed my car... but seriously, that scratch is too shallow(but very visible) to be considered being keyed.

ScratchX is not going to hide it all the way. It might hide the scratch a bit (ScratchX is a filler) but it's still going to be noticeable enough to bug you. You are going to need to compound that in order to get rid of it. It doesn't look too deep of a scratch but then again, we're not there to look at it in person.

Hmm, i doubt someone keyed it. I was 100 miles away from home in my uncle's place (a quiet neighbourhood and no kids) where I knew no one in modesto. I definately felt that rock(not sure if its a rock but what else could be on the freeway?? I was in the middle lane.) hit the rear left fender. So guys, how much would you guys think a scratch that long cost to fix? took a few more pics.. uploading them
