Fender Blending question

new370

At my shop if I was doing the good n blending into the fenders I would also just do the top edge but at the same time if that chip was there I would have fixed it since there is plenty of room to repair n blend. Is it definitely a chip I ask because with white if the panel isn't perfectly clean when blended n cleared your going to see it. From the pictures it kind of looks like a dirty finger print or smudge that wasn't cleaned and noticed and now that it's cleared it's pronounced n noticeable
