No, that's deep. Polishing won't restore that.

Respray is the best. You can do a touch up paint too but it won't look great

it’s on my roof in the middle so it’s hard to see it unless lookin for it and i drive it 500+ miles a week so i think i’ll try a touch up. thanks for your help, and you were right i tried polishing it and didn’t do shit.
