A wetsand may help but it will not fix.

if you wetsand that, i guarantee you will burn through the clearcoat on the sharp edge. just buff it out. if you are not experienced with a buffer, have a professional buff that out. i say 95% of that will come out.

If you have never wetsanded before or at least watched someone, I would not try it. Buff it out first. If you wet sand, you are going to have to buff it anyway so start there.

Looks same as first pic?

Edit: Well I see you changed the second pic. Both sides at same time? That would be a James Bond movie move.
