    I hope this can buff out!!

    Ok i was filling up at the gas station and noticed this!! It kinda rubs off with the fingernail. I believe it is only on the surface. Do you think my best bet is just to try to buff it out?? Hopefully you can see it in these pictures, it is kinda like a white circle on the rear passenger fender.
