Its hard to see but other than the tent next to the tail light, theres about 3 fairly big black scratches on the bumper. Im hoping I can buff it out but i dont know what to use...advice?

that sucks, my mom nudged my stang earlier this year. I had a couple of jobs installing stereos at crowded locations where you would have to be with in an inch or two to get the bigger cars in and out and there was not always someone there to help guide you. Because of this I became very comfortable at manuvering cars with in inches of each other and have never nudged any other cars. My last house had a small garage as well and when I would pull out, the mirror on my ranger would go above my room mates saturn as I backed out again a couple inches away. It would alway make him wince as I did it, it was one of my simple pleasures....

rubbing compound will get the marks out. you can get it at part stores, or they even sell a small bottle at walmart back by the car stuff.

That sucks dude!! Good luck getting that sh!t out, shouldn't be too hard.

Bummer man...could be worse. The black marks will definitely buff out.

yeah thats what i thought that it could be worse...but i already got 2 even bigger dents on the left side of my car from when a deer ran into me!!! I dont want any more lol I still have to make a claim for my insurance...well my mom works for AAA so she has to do it for me lol thats probably why its taking FOREVER!!!

The rear Quarter is a quick way to have these cars totaled. I know my friend that had the car before me his dad would not claim his Quarter Panel under insurance cause they would have totaled the car. It's a very Pricey Fix.

I came in here without reading who the OP was and expected it to be ryan...lol

good news!!! I bought some turtle wax rubbing compound and it took all of the black scratches right out like they never existed!!! Now theres just a fairly small dent by the tail light but thats about it. I also used this rubbing compound to rub out some other scratches that have been on the car since I owned it. I never expected it to be able to work that well. Now i feel like i need to go over my whole car with it because there are alot of really small scratches that I could remove with it but it may take a while...

could have been much worse some one backed into me and took off i didnt notice till the next day. your insurance might cover it though

An experienced "Dent Doctor" could probably get that spot by the taillight out w/o much trouble. These guys are amazing. Years ago, my son dropped his bike against my RF fender & dented/scarred it. He was devistated. The guy did a great repair job on it.
