I noticed this scratch after a car wash. I assume it’s from something like a shopping cart that somebody scratched it with in a parking lot. Do you guys think that this can be repaired and if so, is it within buffing territory or something else?
Does your fingernail catch on it? If not, it'll buff out generally assuming enough clearcoat. If it catches, it will likely need touchup. If you can feel it but not catch, may need wetsanding.
Kind of hard to tell from the pics but I’d say polishing will definitely make it better.

Just tried it. The nail won’t stop but I did the nail test again without looking at it and I faintly do feel the scratch on my nail.
You may be able to get away with buffing it starting heavy, but wouldn't be surprised if wet sanding is needed.
I'd start heavy cut (something like Koch Chemie H9 and their red heavy cut pad) and then polish out. If that does do it, you'll need to go heavier.
Your whole paint is scratched , theres only one that stands out but theres a million of scratches in there
