[gbhumphrey]

I have an Oak Green Metallic Neo Macan and i got a tiny scratch in the trunk lift gate. Any recommendation for a scratch repair kit?

Not enough information to advise - a pic would help. If a minor scratch in the clearcoat that should easily polish out with the right products / technique. IF you can catch an edge with a fingernail it's beyond an easy polish and you'll likely need touchup paint. Good technique with touchup paint can give a reasonable repair but you have to know what you're doing (don't just "glob" it on). Unless you know what you're doing take it to a detailer and pay a few bucks to have it done correctly.

you can buy a paint pen from the dealer....

Sorry to hear about the scratch. I’ve just been through this issue. I am not sure where you are located but a specialty Porsche shop or other “into it” car shop will have a “chip guy”. They are around. And yes don’t do it yourself. It takes a bit to get the color texture etc correct. Porsche dealers sometimes have one of these folks - body shops not so much as they want to spray everything. Good luck on the search. If you are in the Washington DC area I have a good option. Just touch base.
Good luck

A clay bar treatment might do the job.

No - clay bar is for removing surface contaminants - that is not a scratch. Many people do more damage than good with a clay bar.

did my door last week as well, was cleaning the car and the end of the cord to tie my shorts, which have metle tips, cought the door while drying the roof, looked like a hair, finger nail could just catch the edges.
Used my DA and polished it out using the fine compund and a polish at the end. Really depends on the depth of scratches.
