Default Best way to repair scratch in chrome (satin?) trim?

I have a hairline scratch in the roof rail of my Avant, and it looks to be coated or plated metal (not necessarily a painted finish). The roof rail is the same finish used in the window trim as far as I can tell. It's not as bright as chrome, more of a soft satin look. I'd like to repair the scratch (I can feel it in the metal with my fingernail), but does Audi make touch-up paint for the chrome/satin trim?

The archives point to Menzerna Intensive Polish for use on the trim, but I don't think it will help the scratch itself. And the car is brand new, so the trim doesn't really need restoring (yet).

Any suggestions?
