That's just one pain in the butt... How did it happen? One problem with up loading pictures is that are never as sharp as the original image. Your pictures really do not show a very grievous scratch as you are able to ascertain in person, be that as it may, it sure stinks. I have yet to have a blemish on my truck. I know that my flares and nerf bars (side steps) help, but reality suggests that I have been lucky... It's a great looking truck all the same, your effort shows...

I think you have the glaze step in the wrong order. Glaze is going to add oils back into the paint and the polish is going to remove them. You should glaze right before your LSP or use the glaze as your LSP.
