need some scratch & paint advice!

ok long story short, "i got rubbed in while parked." now i need to figure out a way to maybe make the scratch disappear. (scratch-x?) and i also have some paint from what looks to be from a black car thats like imprinted on my door. i was able to "rub" off a little bit, but i'm scared i might scratch it more than it already is. does the factory have good touch-up paint?

Uhm...best way is to get a quote at the body shop and see if it's worth the insurance deductible. At least that's what the best move for me would be!

Clay bar could take out the other guys paint...but you need to get your color back right? Ask Gregg or Nino I think they should know.

I'd say take it to a detailer, have them take a look at the damage and ask them if they could take it the scratches and the paint. Not sure how much it would cost, but it could be cheaper than a body shop if its not that bad. Check out Midas Touch detailing.

If the damage is bad, do what Blake said.

Midas Touch detailing 228-6755 ask for Joey. They are located at Ala Moana ground level of Ala Moana blvd & Pikoi St near Zippy's. Or you can drive out to the water park hours out there are the same as the water park.

Did you have a hook-up there? I got a couple white scuff marks on my side skirts from my sister's high-heels that are an eyesore, and also a deep clearcoat scratch on the rear bumper when a bellhop took my golf bag out and swinged the stands.
