Lightly scratched touchscreen

I have a light scratch on the touchscreen portion of my phone. Is there any products out there you would recommend to fix it or at least make it better?
 
A screen protector

A screen protector wouldn't fix it, but it would prevent it. Maybe it would look like it is lighter with a screen protector on it, but I don't really know. You should always get a screen protector with a touch screen.
 
I put a Zagg protector on today and my touchscreen looks horrible because of the bubbles. The box said out goes away in a couple days, is this true?
 
What about that stuff you put into scratches in glass tables and stuff? Dunno if it's recommended, but may be worth looking into. At any rate, I'd ask a representative wherever you purchased (or can purchase) a phone.
 
Toothpaste. put a very small amount onto a clean lint free cloth and rub in small concentric circles very lightly for around 1 mins, then use another cloth to gently wipe it away. use this a few times until the scratch has gone.

the abrasiveness of the toothpaste is enough to remove the burrs around the edge of the scratch making it appear less significant. this method is used for things such as motorcycle visors to remove scratches without adding more.

hope this helps, check youtube for more information
