Thanks guys...
 
Nothing you can do. I see this all of the time. It is bad prep work before the paint. Those scratches are most likely in the primer under the paint. They where too deep for the paint to conceal.
 
Based on the reflection, that doesn't look "under" the clear(?) to to me. But whatever it is it seems to be in the substrate or the top coat, and if it's in the substrate, there wasn't enough paint to level it out, which means you won't be able to fix it, really. If it's just sand scratched in the top coat, you should be able to level it some, perhaps start with some really fine paper?



Warning: I don't really know what I'm talking about with this...best wait for one of the body shop guys to chime in.
 
Thanks guys for your answers so far...I know that the pictures are not the best but there are a lot of swirls above the CC,The CC is dull, and a lot of scratches under the CC...

I wonder if there is any possibility to damage it more than it is and if there is a possibility to make it look better than that after polishing,some glaze with fillers or something....

Not that I know of. I see a lot of car where you can see the DA marks through the paint from them DA sanding the primer. I haven't noticed anything that has made them look better. After a polish and a wax it will reflect more and take the attention away from it though. Most the times we are the only ones that even notice it.
 
To be honest i removed some DA Sanding marks on my test hood by wetsanding...I don't know why they have been removed but i did it : )

I just hope to make it look better than that,and not to damage it more ...

Keep the advices coming please guys...

This is all guessing for me since I can't see it in person. So also wait for others to chime in.
