I know this will always show, but avoiding a respray, how best can this be ‘hidden’? This may be the best it’ll get, but I figured it was worth asking the detailing gods! Never had this situation before. There are two of these. On the roof of the car.

This is after a wash and SRP.

Haven't tried it but but an oft quoted trick is using a hair dryer, on high, close up. Sounds ridiculous but is reported to work.
ETA or a hot air gun at a temp. low enough to avoid damaging the paint.

I saw a YouTube video of this being used https://www.autoglymprofessional.com/en/products/r...
Results were a bit mixed on vertical panels, but iirc ok on flat horizontal ones.

Get a machine polisher on it. It probably hasn’t gone right through the clear coat, just marked the surface. A few second with a polisher will hopefully get rid of it.
