Advice for this crack and scratch? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So I think what happened was someone didn't see my car in between two larger ones, and proceeded to reverse into my spot where I was parked. They probably rode up the front bumper a little, which caused the zig-zag... anyway, aside from the scratch, there's this crack on the bottom left of the scratches. What should I do about this sort of damage?

EDIT: I apologize for posting this in the wrong section; I thought I put it under cosmetic MAINTENANCE but I fat-fingered it... sorry!

that looks simply cosmetic and should be relativly easy to rub out. There are a couple of youtube videos out there on removing scuffs/scratches. I found them to be very usefull in the past. As for what brand of polish compound to use. You got me on that one.

I think we're getting a thread a day about scratches and chips on this forums, hilarious!

the faster you rub, the faster the results

Claim it on your insurance and go get it fixed. Being parked in a parking lot means its free fix through insurance.

yes, but less the deductible... if you're deductible is $500... you're pretty much paying for all of it...

True, although if they replace a quarter panel or something it might be over 500 bucks, body work is annoyingly expensive.

Dr. Colorchip work for anyone? I feel like if you blended it and/or buffed the paint a little it wouldn't be so noticeable with a coat of polish/wax back over it.
