Sorry to hear - I can relate though. I had an A4 where I did the same thing a while back. To fix it, you're really left w/ no choice but repaint. In the meantime, I would use some compound to get out the paint and then, no joke, take a black permanent marker and fill it in until you get it fixed. Sounds crazy, but it will cover it up a bit.

rubbing compound, wet sand, clay bar, abrasive wax, etc. will only minimize the appearance to somewhat bearable. i say go for a repaint. looks like its pretty deep. g'luck!
