Sanding and scraping, my friend. Itll take hours. So be patient.

Also polishing.

Right now, the finish in that spot is smudgy ca glue. If you want it off, it will need to be sanded.

This is one of the main reasons why small scratches need to be left alone.

If this is what happened from trying to fill a small scratch I'd defer to a professional to remediate your issue
