Just needs to be buffed. They will compound it, then hit it with a swirl remover, and then they will probrably have you hit it with your favorite polish or wax to finish up. I suspect the first shop didn't buff it at all.

FWIW: If this is a sanding mark in the substrate under the base coat, you will probrably always see it.

Someone wasn't very good at wetsanding and compounding. Sounds like it just needs to be compounded and buffed really well.
