How do I fix this

Put in touch up and clear coat from BMW now it looks like I have permanent bug splats on my car. How do I fix this?

Flat back with some 1500 wet and dry then go over with 3000 and 6000 trizack pads and then go over with some 3m fast cut and a green pad on a rotary then some ultrafine se on a blue waffle pad with a rotary mate! Let us know how you get on

What's flat black?

Sorry should have been clearer, sand down with your 1500 wet and dry, use it wet is loads better, until it is smooth and same level as your panel

If you're not experienced with paint reconditioning, I would advise you do not just go after your car with sand paper. It may be a job for a professional if you want to avoid additional damage.

Fixed a massive bird poo damage on my hood yesterday. Wet-sanded it with 3000 grit (careful!). Then compound, polish, and wax.
