Default Help scratched clear top

I have a new C7 and noticed a scratch on the outside of clear top. The scratch can not be felt with fingernail. Tried to buff out, but no luck.

Need help fixing this as I'm a little **** about it and it's driving me nuts.
I know there's lot of smart people on here that can help.
Is the top laminated or coated? If not can I use 1000-2000 grit sand paper and then buff out?

Please don't answer if you just think you know. I'm looking for paint and body guys that know for sure and have fixed scratches in these tops before. There seems to people that just want give opinions without any experience at all.

Thanks for the help.

Bummer! Maybe try the Car Care Discussion board?

Take it to a body shop or marine repair yard that does polishing, the polycarbonite is pretty hard.

Got the same issue with my car. scratched the inside of the top directly over the driver side while installing the top. wonder if any of those headlight polisher systems would work on this top. Hope some one with real experience responds...
