Default best way to polish out seat blemish on fender

Wondering what the best method/products to use to try to polish out slight blemished in the clearcoat on my rear fender made from the seat. Want to put a solo seat on but the blemishes in the clear coat would bother me.

i had the same thing I took it to a body man and had him buff it with the big 7" buffer. you could screw up your paint if you try it for the first time . just take it to a good body shop

Try Meguiar's SwirlX, not very aggressive of a compound, but it may give desired results without making it worse.

go over the "blemish" with 30 grit sand paper...it will blend in nicely....

I have had good luck with QUIXX ... That is the only true scratch and scuff remover that really delivers what it says in my experirece anyway
