Looks like what a cat did to my hood through a car cover. If it really bothers you I would try to correct it yourself. I got a really nasty chunk of bumper taken out by a piece of debris the other day and it really upset me at first.. I got used to it. Not comfortable with the price of a replacement bumper until I’m flush with dolla dolla bills y’all

that would easily polish out probably 90% that you would have a hard time finding it again
Not sure if you have a polisher but i am gonna guess not. So by hand get a decent MF towel Get some Meguiars Ultimate compound and Ultimate polish at walmart/autozone anywhere Use the MF towel and the compound and work it in good for a few mins. The do the same thing with the polish and then wipe it clean and throw some protection on it. That will probably make it leveled out a good bit that you will have to catch it in light to see it. If you had a polisher you would be able to get better result but can be done by hand with a bit more elbow grease thats the quick way if you wanna do it now and not actually order any better products

Put a good paste wax on it and you should be good to go!

Get some proper touch up paint, some 3000 grit wet/dry sand paper, and some compound/polish.
Paint it (carefully, just the scratch!), leave 24 hours to cure. Wet& dry sand it without too much pressure. Compound, then polish. It will be gone. Should cost less than $100 for everything.

If you can feel it with your nail your through the clear. Check out Dr. Colorchip.

These guys in Nashville (they have a Denver-area location in link above) have done spot painting for me and others I know. They do a lot of dealer work on used cars here as well. Superb results for less than a body shop, and quick turnaround. They're also great for paintless dent repair.

just cause you can feel it with your finger doesnt mean you cannot improve it.
Try to polish it out the best you can then decide if you need more. You can round the edges over and blend it in. It will still be there but it wont stand out and will have to look to see it Dr Colorchip doesnt work on hairline scratches like this. It will pull right out once you try and level it. I have had a worse scratch on my old 12 black mustang gt door from something sharp in someone's pocket rubbed against it. I polished it out there where you could not see it unless you looked really hard. I did wet sand it for like 5sec Try polishing it out by hand and see how you like it and then go from there. If you know someone with a polisher you could hit it with 3000grit for like a few quick passes and they can use the polisher for like 30sec and be done. There is zero need to go hunting down something silly like someone to spot-paint it and such unless you really want it 100% gone to perfection

I used it fix a chip on mine and I have a hard time finding the spot unless I really look for it. https://youtu.be/VKXIEI4lvN8 |
