If the scratch doesnt go down through to the primer (usually white), or the metal, then it should polish out with 'T-Cut' or similar cutting polish and plenty of work, and then re-polish the areas.

 

if it has gone down to primer/metal you have the options of

a) preparing and touching in the scratch yourself

b) get one of the chip/dent repair people in as they normally do scratches as well (about £50 per panel)

c) If it's particularly bad, and you have the money, get the panels re-sprayed.

 

Report it to the police as well; they may not be able to do anything, but on the off chance that someone get caught, you may get some compensation for the damage.
