So I am on a date with a beautiful woman and was running out of gas. I pull into the gas station and as you know the passenger side is where the gas cap is. She wanted to go in to buy gum so she opened the door and hit the metal part of the gas pump hose and caused a tiny, perhaps 1/8 inch scratch. It's not really a ding but the paint was definitely penetrated. I realize this may all seem petty and perhaps it is but anyone who has bought a brand new car knows the feeling when you get that first scratch or ding. Anyway, the point is, is there a way to fix this with some type of glazing or buffing product? the scratch doesn't appear all that deep. Anyone?

It's only 1/8 "?? Look into Dr. Colorchip and / or Langda product for a DIY repair. Why airbrush etc for only 1/8" of damage--overspray + wet sanding, polishing etc. on all the adjacent undamaged area?? Anyway, just my opinion. Remember, rock chips etc will inevitably occur in the front.

So what?
A friend has over 120,000 miles on his 993 Turbo. It's his daily driver. He can afford any car he wants but prefers the 993. Does he bother about scratches and dings? Nah! Life is too important to worry about things that have happened, big or small.
I frankly can't see why you bothered to post the equivalent of a chipped nail...

I'll reserve judgement until pics of the girl-in-question are posted 
.
But hey, realistically, at least you were on a date / doing something fun when this happened and enjoying your ride.
my a-hole neighbor just backed into the nose of my pcar last week with her "way too big for a small girl to be driving" SUV. - cracked the bumper paint. I'm NOT happy about having to repaint the bumper, this is the "first" ding so to speak and my car is immaculate.
Here's the kicker- I left a very polite note on her car asking her to call me to discuss the damage. I actually watched her get into her car that evening, read the note, look at my car, toss the note and drive off!!! don't worry though, I got ahold of her and am doing the insurance thing. some people have no class!
So point is- it could have been worse my friend!
