Will wait to see pictures before commenting on how to remove this mystery mark....

As for touch up paint, most specialty paint stores can mix you a bottle or even an aerosol can of paint. SFP will be very difficult to match exactly. Even OEM touch up paint may look slightly off once applied to your vehicle.

Hands down this is the best place for touch up paint. I've used them on more than one occasion with excellent results!

Great news! If it's so small it can't even be photographed I wouldn't worry about it all.

Take it to a pro.... In SoCal, I would take your car to Extreme Autowerks and talk to Ryan. He did my opti-coat and is an excellent detailer. He will give you an honest opinion about options.
