Need help! I backed up to my truck
 

So I was being careless and I backed up right into my truck at about a walking speed. Luckly there are no dent/chips/dings/ AND paint damage on both cars. However, I can see the little scrape marks on the bumper of my Z (not a scratch, no paint came off). The damage looks sort of like unfinished wax job. Any suggestions? How would I "buff" this out? I never came across situatuons like this. My Z is magnetic black and my truck is also black. Thanks for the help!

It should be an easy buffout if its really light.

:iagree:

whats the most effective way of buffing something out?

use a little smidge of 3m rubbing compound...dont rub too hard nor too long. you can completely screw up your paint.

:iagree:

pics?

Its a sensitive buffer; but very effective if you're careful.

without photos, its hard to say what you should do. you say its not severe, but everyone judges scratches/scuffs differently. it may just need something as a simple clay/polish, or you may need something a little more like a rubbing compound. obviously you'd want to do the least invasive treatment, so being able to see the scuff would help us determine what needs to be done.

:iagree: I use the 3m rubbing compound on my car when I get small scratches. It works great! Just don't forget to wax the area after!

Before you use the 3M product, make sure you clean the spot firmly with an SOS pad. :rolleyes:
