Default Scratch but Under The Paint?

Hi All,

Not sure if this is possible, but it seems my car has a scratch under the paint? I even tried using my key to scratch it away with no avail. Any thoughts on how to fix? or has anyone seen this?

Thanks,

it's difficult to tell what that is. But scratching it with a key to see if it comes out is definitely NOT something I would recommend. Take it t oa pro, they can run through the basic steps to see what it is. Clay bar>polish>compound if needed or even sand paper. If that doesn't work, it's probably a permanent defect.
