It will disappear with the final coat of laquer. Those scuffs will give the final coat something to "bite on to".

BTW, rushing is never something you should do. Ever. :D

are you sure cause its really white

It's called blushing. You can buy a blush eraser at most stores.

From stew-mac:

The haze is caused by "blushing". You will see it mainly on black but darker reds show it sometimes as well. It is caused by moisture in the color or clear coat. The moisture gets into the paint when the paint is sprayed during periods of high humidity. Spraying during a rain shower, during the cooler part of a moist day and spraying a very heavy coat on a warm humid day increases the chances of blushing. 

What to do? If you see blushing, Stop. The moisture is trapped in the very top coat of the finish. Take the body into a warm and dryer area and let it dry. Lacquer allows water to move slowly through the finish and most times the blushing will disappear as the finish dries. Blushing can also be removed through sanding. It can also be removed by spraying the finish with straight lacquer thinner. (Some finishers add a small amount of retarder to the thinner). If the moisture is trapped deeply in the finish you made need to use a product called "Blush Eraser". Blush Eraser reconstitutes the lacquer to allow the moisture to escape. Behlen makes the most popular eraser and provides it in an aerosol.

Good luck!

I'll back out, I am not trying to give you a hard time and I don't want to interrupt your thread, but I don't even know what this statement is supposed to mean. I cannot understand even your basic idea. :D
