See what you can rub out first. The problem with touch up paint is that too much looks bad.

Polshing won't work for the damage that has permeated the clear coat. If you have an orbital buffer you should try using light cuting product to see how much abrasion can be removed; if that doesnt work trying using a medium cutting polish.

If paint has been removed or the base paint has been damage, you can try using touch up main.

Show us pics so we can give better advice.
