How to fix scratches on white foil cabinets

Hello-
I did a really, REALLY stupid thing. I live in Bundang, South Korea. Its a satellite city of Seoul. We moved into an apartment that has what appears to be IKEA cabinets, but they're not labeled as such. Anyhow, I was cleaning one of the cabinet faces that had some dried food on it. I used the abrasive side of one of those scotchbrite sponges to remove it and now its scratched. My husband suggested getting some common carnauba car wax to buff it out. Does anyone know of a way I could get rid of this scratch? Its not deep, but from an angle I can see the scratches. Any helpful suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Re: How to fix scratches on white foil cabinets

Some others may have repair ideas, but another thought is to just buy a new door. That is one of the cool things about IKEA. The door is easy to replace and aren't too expensive. Something to think about...
