Try some scratch X mate by hand although BMW paint is pretty tough.

I can relate. My cat seems to be big with hairballs on the car lately.
So far the paint seems to be ok. If he keeps it up, I may not be able to say the same for the cat.....

Try a little polishing compound, it should do the trick!!

Who told you that? BMW just like all other Euro cars have really soft clearcoats.

Try polishing out the area, If that doesn't work, you need to compound it.

Trust me they do, its a Ceramic Clear Coat.

Depends on what kinda polish you use also.

It's a proven fact that euro clearcoats are soft and American clearcoats are hard.
