help! scratch on hood + dirt in headlight housing

lend my TW 09 fit to my sister and brother in law yesturday to move a cabinet from IKEA, i goto work come home and check out the car (yes i'm quite paranoid) and i find this 7" scratch right ontop of the hood. Now its been snowing a lot here in Toronto but it seems like some dirt has fell on it and somebody used a brush to get the snow off and dragged the dirt across the hood causing the scratch. I didn't have any scratch removal stuff at home so I just used some car wash soap + micro fibre cloth to try to remove the dirt. Most of the excess dirt came off the scratch but there's still a very visible streak. I'm not sure how or what product to use to remove the rest.

Also I noticed patches of dirt fell onto the driver side headlight housing and as I tried removing them I noticed some of the dirt is actually trapped INSIDE the headlight housing. How da hell did it get there?! I think I might have to get my headlight housing painted black now. Any recommendation for a job like that in the GTA / price?
