Is this a scratch??? help :(

hey whatsup you guys, i got a G a few weeks ago, it came with pinstripe and I took it off just the other day. I used a blow-dryer and this rubbery/plastic wedge, similar to what 'tinters' use. Upon close inspection, I saw what seemed to be a scratch, at first I was worried that I did this when I was removing the pinstripe, but the line is so damn straight, so I dismissed that, I'm wondering if perhaps its 'clear-bra' because it has a lot of that on the front of the car and the surrounding areas. Here are some pictures, any feedback would be appreciated.

porter cable 7424 orbital polisher. I think you didnt get much of a result because your hand cant polish as fast as a machine.

probably the glue, either goto the dealer and get the spray they use, or nail polish remove works too.
