Rear panel stock PPF - Scratched

Not even sure how in the F this happened, but looks like some idiot scratched this area. Tried to wax/buff/scratch remover but no such luck. Any advise on what has worked, or if it's even possible? Has anyone had the dealer replace this section, if so how much? TIA!

If it is a fine scratch, Xpel's self-healing should take care of it when exposed to heat. If deeper, you'll need to replace it. Xpel makes an OE size rear fender piece, pre-cut. However, when I get my car (hopefully in a week or two), I'm going to have my installer remove the OE fender piece and replace it with a much larger custom piece for $200.

Dealer may consider it wear and tear. If they don't replace it on their dime and it bugs you enough that you want to replace I would go to your local Suntek or Xpel dealer and have them replace both sides with larger coverage in that area as Kevin said above as you will thank yourself later for doing this.

Thanks guys. Yeah, I've already visited an Xpel dealer to do a full custom piece for the rear, and at that point I'd just get the front wrapped as well. I guess film is cheaper than paint so might not be a bad idea.
