A simple cut and buff should do the trick.

As someone else stated, the clear coat on that panel has come off. Judging by the scuff marks, it looks to me like someone repaired that panel, sanded and clear coated it with cheap paint.
Even the panel behind the door has been "buffed" right down to the paint. This looks to me like a repaint.

Not sure why the laugh. Looked like oxidation from my phone, still looks to possibly be... Leave some positive comments or at the very least, some input on the issue. Or better yet, don't post at all...
