Worth a shot though surely? Personally I can see the metallic fleck even more when the image is darkened.



I would be isolating the area and wet sanding it flat (until it turns white/hazy - that's what happens to damaged clearcoat) and then machine polishing it out.

Do you have no compound to hand at all? There's no harm in trying a little by hand to check first. It's just if you have it spot repaired with paint you'll always have an edge around where it got touched in, compared to the possibility of it being corrected invisible by polishing.

Worth a try i suppose - don't fancy doing any wet sanding as don't want to make it worse. Happy to leave that to a pro. But could try some polish - don't have any so what would you suggest?
