There was probably dust/grit behind the numbers that marred the paint. You won't necessarily see actual scratches, but you will see the haze that you have now.
Likely, it just needs to be polished out. You can try doing it by hand (Scratch-X is pretty good for this), but it very well may need the care of someone with a random orbital. You can do it yourself very easily, but if you don't want to spring for an RO just for this job (although after you got this haze taken care of, you'll likely want to do the whole car!), I would look for a good detailer by stopping in, checking out their shop, asking what they use, etc. The most important question to ask in this case is are they actually going to use something to remove the haze, or are they just going to conceal it? And don't be afraid to ask for references. I've seen some really crappy RO/rotary work lately. Maybe try asking around at a local club for referrals?
