Do Porsche do it? I'm just looking to hide a couple of inconsequential marks... I wouldn't even go so far as to call them scratches as they're pretty unobtrusive. The sort of thing a coloured wax would easily hide, but I'm not swapping from my trusty Zymol.

Ideally I want a touch up pen to just blend them in.

Colour wax then Zymol? Or T-cut then Zymol? I got rid of a fair few scratches on my sisters Focus for her and the paint stayed perfect.

Why not use the mild zymol abrasive if you like the brand. Its a clay bar I think?

Haven't tried the clay bar as yet... These are small entry and exit marks around the door sill... You can just see white if you look in the right light, so I do need some colour in there... Was hoping for something a little more permanent than wax though.

Try Meguiars Scratch-X if they are light scratches.

White quite often isn't primer, but is just the light reflecting off a scratch. Its amazing what a bodyshop with a bit of rubbing compound and a cloth can do.

If you are down to primer then I suspect you need paint

Since you are selling the car, it may not be economic to worry about these things if you can't just polish it out.
