Hi I parked at a public parking and when I got to my car i saw some scratches on my rear. I just want to know can I buff it out or I gotta get it repainted. If I gotta repainted I gotta go through the insurance which I dont like, So hopefully u guys give me some tips if I can buff it out.

phew, lucky I dont need to go through insurance for it. The scratches seems not that deep since I cant feel the scratch but I can see a line. lol

it'll buff out, but make sure the person doing the buffing knows what they are doing, or you're going to get holograms all over the rear bumper.

i wouldn't trust yelp... ask around, ask here for recommendations near you. Also can't hurt to ask your dealer...

I really can't tell from the pics, but I had a similar situation, my car was scraped in a parking lot. I used Meguiar's scratch x and it definitely helped!

I was about to say the same. That product does wonders! Make sure you use a brand new buffing pad ($1-$2 at your local store). In addition, I apply a fresh coat of wax over the area once I'm done removing the surfact scratch.

Scratch-X works great on light scratches like that. I bought mine at Walmart. Autozone also sells it.

Easy answer yes, I had this same problem when I went to a car-wash. I got a professional detail and it fixed everything.

Most likely if you wash your car, these will disappear. If not, you can try some spray on wax first. I wouldn't go straight to buffing. Someone may cause more damage while trying to fix it. If this is 4GS OB, you need to make sure the one will touch your paint knows what he's doing.

honestly body shops aren't detailers, they will use a rotary and polish it out, but most likely put in holograms. it won't be visible if the sun isn't hitting it.

see if they can use a dual action buffer instead, harder to put holograms using that.

Looks like a surface scratch. Easy to get off.

Invest in one of these and learn how to care for the paint yourself. Its hardwork but its very rewarding and NO ONE will take care of your car like you will. These scratches are an easy one step polishing proccess though. If that was on my obsidian im sure it would be a three step process and it would be scratched again a day later from looking at it too hard
