Default Scratch removal?

So i have found some scratches on my car where a previous owner has debadged the car horrificly. looks like they have used sanding paper or something on there for whatever reason they thought would be good?
Anyone know any ways i can get rid of this? its rather annoying, its not obvious only when you know its there you can only see it at some angles.
Here is the best pic i could get given the time

Will need wet flatting with 1200 grit sandpaper.If the scratch has gone through the lacquer and scratched the paint,then it will need painting or touching up depending on how fussy you are.

Looks like it just scratched lacquer in the second pic and should flat and polish.

i dont think it has, its a real light scratch tbh, at angles you cant see it whatsoever even when youre looking for it, so just 1200 sand it, and it should wear out? i dont want to make more of the car look like scratched though? will 1200 not do this?
