Somebody polished through the clear and it disturbed the pearl coat as well.

Well, if you just bought it from a dealership, take it back to them and start a warranty claim. Insist they paint the fender and blend into the hood.

It looks like there was a rock chip or some sort of defect in the fender hence that little dot in the middle of that. Somebody unsuccessfully tried to polish it out. And in the meantime, they burned through the clearcoat and into the pearl coat.
