How to fix a deep scratch?

So I was looking at my car today and I noticed a nice sized scratch on my driver side front bumper. The scratch is pretty deep, or looks that way at least. I have no idea how I got it, but I am guessing I might of rubbed something up against it in my garage or something.

Anyhow here is a picture of it (sorry for the low quality cell phone pic). Now is there anything I can do to A) fix it... or B) make it look a bit better?



Thanks,

How deep is it? Can you feel it with your fingernail? If not, try using Meguiar's Scratch X.

I cant feel them with my fingernail. You think this Meguiar's Scratch X will cover it good?
