A sharpie marker works really well, but get a rag with isopropyl alcohol and wipe right after marking. This gets rid of all the extra marker but it stays in the white scatch just fine. Mine had a couple of nicks like that when it was new.

YES! Go to Wal Mart and buy the colored wax made by turtle wax. Of couse buy the black colored variety. Take just a little bit of the wax (its a liquid) and put it on you finger. now rub over your scratch, and it will dissapear!

That is the only method that has worked for me!

yeah, I got a scratch in the same spot from my laptop briefcase!

On the wax, just keep rubbing intill the tip of your finger is warm/hot. Let is sit for a while, then buff off any left residue. The colorant in the wax "fills in" the white scratches the xB is prone to geting!

No, you cant see any wax residue. keep in mind, with my method you are useing the colorant in the wax to cover up the white scratches.
