Hello everyone,
I found a small scratch to the car, as shown in the picture. The question now is: How should I fix it?
I found the following spray:

Is it a good idea to buy this spray and spray the scratch?
Thanks in advance.
Scratch Repair
It really depends on on a few things - if you want a quick cheap repair I would get one of the touch up kits with a small brush and cover it that way.
I tried one of them cans abouts 10+ years ago and it was a mess. It the right hands it might do a great job but I failed and it looked horrible.
One thing - it appears you have gone through the paint so it is best to keep it clean and dry and away from any salt.

I see from your profile that you joined the forum in June 19 - probably taking delivery of your car around that time. If it were me, on a car less than a year old, I’d be looking at a smart repair from someone like Chipsaway or a similar company. It will cost around £100 or so but at least you will have a professional repair that will more or less be invisible.
