Hi I scraped my new ride (3 days old) reversing out of my garage. I scraped lightly against the wood frame with some beige paint transfer.

In the following pictures is the best I can get it down to after I hit it with clay bars, goo gone, and wash and scrub.

I don't want to go to a paint shop, I know I can't do much about the deep 1, and I don't have an orbital so I have to do whatever you suggest by hand, I just want to get rid of those scrub marks along the edge mostly. Any ideas?

the scrub marks can't be felt with fingers so Im guessing they are clear coat scratches or really deep paint transfers.

ps. don't hate on the ride, I still love my BMW more

Thanks my brothens

forgot the pics lol

most of that should buff out pretty easily. the deeper ones that took off plastic you wont be able to do much with.

so what do I use to buff it off?

go to auto shop buy rubbing compound should take most of them off.

except for that big scratch.

Go to wal-mart and get some Scratch-X and apply it with a MF pad. Don't be afraid to put some pressure on the pad, it will take some work. Most of that should come right off though.

Alot of those rubbing compounds you can buy in a store (turtlewax makes one) are very aggressive and not something I would use on paint. Some even specifically say that they are not to be used on a clear coat. They tend to do more damage than good.

Thats what I was thinking too, should I go with scratchX or Quixx?

People have had good results with both. I haven't tried Quixx yet, but do keep some ScratchX on hand just in case.

Here's a thread that compares those two products. Perhaps it will help you decide:
