If you get it fixed by a body shop THOROUGHLY inspect for rotary buffer swirls/holograms in direct sunlight and look from different angles.
Or it could look worse than before. My brother ought to know from getting his smoker vents taken offt.
Sounds like you want to do it yourself. I've heard meguiars new scratchX2.0 and a foam applicator is good at fixing ghost defects. Use as directed and top it off with some wax when it's fixed.
