I kind of meant to apply a little touch-up paint, polish if you can, then leave it alone and live with it.
If you want to expend a lot of time, money and energy then you can apply a little, polish and maybe continue this process but you are limited in what you can do by hand and moving on to machines doesn't really help.
First the dual action polisher is too gentle to remove sanding marks, this is why I mentioned in one of my replies that the sanding marks must be removed using a rotary buffer. But even if you have a rotary buffer, if you try to start sanding down the top surface of your touch-up paint and then removing the marks with the rotary buffer, you will end up heating up the touch up paint and probably pulling it out of the scratch as well as heating up the paint surrounding the scratch and either burning through it or marring it from melting it.
I've done work like this before and its a lot of time and energy for little gains.
Again, for what it's worth, for defects like this, clean it as well as you can, apply just a little touch-up paint so you don't have blobs that stick out above the surface and then live with it or have the area repainted.
Sorry, but what you're trying to do is not an easy thing to do no matter what your skill level.
