Thats looks like its etched into the paint, it probably isn;t going anywhere anytime soon.

Try claybar first, if that doesn't work, take it to a pro and get the whole car detailed.

Compound usually leaves some very fine scratches due to its aggressive cutting qualities. Finish it off with some polish to get rid of those fine scratches. The scratches may not be very visible on that paint color, though.
