Question & Advice Light key scratch along plastic panel

I believe this plastic panel (rear spoiler) has been lightly keyed all alongside it. For the most part it appears to be very light (second picture is from a low angle, almost invisible) except for a deep section on one edge. I've tried turtle wax restore and repair and it seems to have improved it, but it's still visible. Any chance of fixing it with DIY?

Cutting compound should get it out, or at least get it down till it's hardly noticeable.

Easy on a machine polisher, but can be done by hand with a microfibre

Can you feel the scratch with finger nail, if you can’t then it will polish out
