Try a scratch remover like scratchx, they usually remove the damaged clearcoat to expose the undamaged underneath, just don't remove too much

talk to your insurance, usually if your fully covered they have a $100-$150 theft and vandalism co-pay but the rest is covered. Have a paint shop repaint or fix.
