Doubt it was 'mopped', more likely just filler heavy polish or glaze top coat masking the 'chamois' drying scratches........
Pretty sure you'll 'buff' them out easily enough, just work backwards on the 'cut' level......... being black / dark after polishing don't forget to wipe over with a spray of IPA/water mix (isopropyl alcohol) to get rid of any residues before Glaze and sealants and it'll come up lovely
