What you will be doing is rounding off the sharp edges of the scratch with makes them less visible as light does not refract as sharply off round edges. If it is minimized enough, could you live with it?

Also, always remember to use the least aggressive method possible to get the results you are looking for (I would stay away from most rubbing compounds for this job as you don't want to remove too much clearcoat- once it is gone, it's gone.)
