Paintwork and ceramic coating

I am on a roll today! Just parked my car up in a nice isolated spot in the underground garage and went back to find a painter painting around the car. “Helpfully” he had put his floor covering over the bonnet to stop it being splashed - after realising he was splashing it. It’s an old cloth. He spread it out with his hands and now there are crescent shaped fist sized swirl marks over the bonnet. Jeez. It has been ceramic coated. The marks are just about feelable with a thumb nail. What’s the best option to remedy it. A light polish with say Autoglym which has a light abrasive in it? Or take it back to the detailers as that only removes the ceramic coating?? Thanks in advance. I quite like polishing so I am not overly bothered about a ceramic coat
 
If your not bothered about the ceramic coat then a light hand polish with a paint restorer product would be a start and see what happens. A Dual action polisher could follow if that doesnt work.
Did you point out the damage to the painter at the time?
 
No unfortunately I didn’t notice until later. No point anyway as he was Spanish and their attitude to cars is fairly laissez faire. My friend’s builder reversed into my friend brand new Focus six months ago and just shrugged and said “it’s a car!”. They just don’t get it.

Until it happens to them
 
I was just too nice and scowled a bit to myself. Anyway now home (1700 miles of European travel later) and will get out the polishes tomorrow!
