Langka is a good option for blob removal you will still notice a difference in the grain though unless you have a solid colour, wet sanding has a habit of rubbing down the other bits too.
When you say you'll notice the difference, is that "a normal person would notice" or "a detailer getting up close and personal would notice"??

But would you notice it if you walked past, looking at the car, but not examining it?

Not trying to be awkward, just I have a gouge on the off side front wing, trying to decide if I get it resprayed or touch it up . . .

Stone chips you can hide, gouges are a bit different.
