You gotta zoom in on the picture more so we can see less context. I'm being sarcastic, but you get the meaning? Might get some good feedback by posting on Reddit.
It is still visible. Btw, my DIY skills are pretty negligible, so was trying to find out whether this can be fixed with T cut etc., Otherwise I wouldn’t have posted it.
It's biblical catastrophic level orders of magnitude from being a T cut job.

Polishing that is not going to hide the damage unless you have pro-level abilities with an orbital polisher and a wide selection of cutting compounds. However, a DIY level of competence might still be able to make it look less 'raw' and to a point where you are happy to live with it.
Where about on the car is it? Give it a wash and try giving it a polish and please do post an 'after' picture. Good luck!

I wondered if I was looking at the wrong thing and that what I was looking at was a bird sh*t when OP asked about T-Cutting it
Hey cmon, I have ignored major scratches and dents without worrying about it. I would have left it as it is - thats what I normally do. But was wondering whether this would get better with T cutting as I am not an expert like you guys on DIY works?I wondered if I was looking at the wrong thing and that what I was looking at was a bird sh*t when OP asked about T-Cutting it

Apologies, I didn't mean that to come across as being harsh. I genuinely wasn't sure if I was looking at the wrong thing because that does (at a glance) look like a bird poo
and there is a smaller scratch next to it.

I dont think "EZ Fix" is a product, I think its just the user telling you its an easy fix with a paint pen...
and I imagine that the Bumper Medic is the likes of Chips Away, yeah.On the note of bumper medics, I used DWV on my last M3 for a small dent/scratch in the rear bumper - couldnt fault the guy, couldnt tell where he had done it even though I knew where it was!
Their site says they cover only Essex - were you in Essex at that time or did they come to Lincolnshire?

That's weird, it was on 2022 to be fair. At that time they were national..
If the paint has gone....and best I can tell from the photo it has ...it doesn't matter how good you are with a machine polisher and cutting compounds, it aint going to be fixable that way!!!!!
