Looks like its on your door? Important question is if you can pick at it with your fingernail. If so, its through the color coat, and you can't help that without adding material.

I would only wet-sand freshly painted or custom paint cars and strongly advise against wet-sanding OEM paint finishes as the paint is usually very thin, or wet-sanding any paint without first using a paint thickness gauge (PTG) to check the thickness of available clear coat
