Scratched Macbook Pro - is there anything I can do?

I know I'm grasping at straws here but I'm going to ask anyway . . .

I've had my MBP for about four months; my plan was to keep it for around 18 months and then sell it on eBay and and put the cash towards a new one.

I've been so careful to keep it in good condition and I have done. To look at it you'd think it was brand new.

However, today I noticed on the underneath there is a major scratch. I'm so annoyed - I feel it taints the Macbook now (okay, it's underneath so could be a lot worse).

I know the answer is probably no but is there anything I can do to cover over the scratch or make it less obvious?

Thanks!

IDK about scratch removal, but if you're concerned about keeping your MBP mint, you might consider investing in an Invisible shield (shieldzone.com). If you put that on it, you'd have zero more scratches until you sold it. I wish I had bought one for my MB when I first got it b/c the cover and bottom are a bit scratched up and the palm rests are browned, plus I've decided I want a MBP, so I'll need to sell it over the summer, visual flaws and all. Oh well, I guess you live and learn.
