this sucks crap!!!
 

so i was really tired and using my mom's car,

backing out of the garage and i accidentally scrape the side of car against the wood side garage, now theres a white scuff mark on the black paint,

crap not really sure what i can do,

im thinking of getting a bucket of soapy water and trying to scrub the white scuff marks with a rag/cloth towel

anyone know how to handle this situation

i did the same thing but i just left it as is (both the car and garage)

or back it out and scrape the other side so it looks even? :ugh:

Best thing is to let her know first off, then see if you can buff it out. There are many products out there for doing this but they can only help just so much. If the damage is bad it will have to be painted.

No its a black benz,

im gonna try to wash it off with water/soap,

i really need to figure a way to do this cost-effectively because i dont want to spend hundreds of dollars for a stupid mistake by me, dont want to use the $ im saving for a 370z... arghhh!!!

Smack it, flip it, rub it down with some Goo-Gone.

i dont think he is of legal age yet. he says he lives with mom.

ok, sorry to all the guys that live with mom. lol
unless you're taking care of mom, then :tup:

u mean rub jack daniels on it? ok! lol

Well then I will have the drink then.

As for OP, if you are young and it is a Benz.
GL with that.

Yes.

Is it just a scuff mark? If you run a fingernail lightly over it, does it catch heavily?

You might be able to buff it out with some paint polish or even some scratch/rubbing compound. I suggest searching for "scuff" or "scratch" in the Detailing / Washing / Waxing / Cosmetic Maintenance and Repair forum.

Post a pic please!

best of luck mbz uses like 10 different paint ratios to get that color code BUY touch up?

hhaahaha! i rubbed really hard with soap/water i would say 98% came right off, although it did leave small scruff marks but honestly u cant see it from far away

phew saved me a bunch of $

LUCK OF THE IRISH:ughdance:

Oh, well thank heavens!

here it is attached before,

ill post the after pic later

you sure you weren't drunk? :ugh:

:tiphat:

jeeezus!!

Rubbing and/or Polishing compound and elbow grease should get that out. Follow up with a nice wax job.

Clay bar and time

You are dreaming (or drunk) if you think a clay bar will take off a paint scrape.

Tap the brakes, onz. If the car's paint is fine and it's just paint from the house on its surface, the clay bar method would work. When my wife did the same a few months ago (she runs her car into stuff fairly often), I actually used Goo-Gone and a MF towel to remove the scuffs.

Seriously, no :bs: :bowrofl:

edit: I see the OP used soap/water and elbow grease to clean it up. Yeah if we're talking about scratches, neither a clay bar or the almighty Goo-Gone will fix that. :icon17:
