How do you fix scratches on a guitar without paying for anything?

Question

I recently got a new guitar for my birthday(beginner) and took the sticker off with my nails and the pick(not smart). How can I fix the scratches?

Answer 1

If you don't want to pay anything, then just don't worry about it.  Use WD-40 to get off any remaining sticker residue and don't worry about the scratches.  After a while, you won't even notice them anymore.

Answer 2

This depends on how deep the scratches are.  If they are only on the surface.  there is an automotive product called Rubbing / Buffing compound.  

Apply a little on a damp rag and work it in a circular motion with pretty good force.  This should remove the scratches after some good work.  

If not then find a sticker that you like and put it on there.
