So my baby 335i sportline backed into a 1/2 ton pick up last night at a tight parking garage inside a mall. He was going up hill and by the time I saw his headlights booooooom!

I've never driven a compact before so I thought the damage would have been HORRENDOUS. To make it worse the guy had a huge bull guard with day lights....I live in Texas haha.

Anyway I have a black scratch that looks like a smudge about 2 inches tall by 1 inch wide and another closer to the top edge of the trunk like if someone had a heavy suitcase and dropped it on the bumper unloading.

I can tell that the black plastic of the bumper is showing on both deep chunks....is this repairable by a steady hand and patience?

I've done an entire 2006 black Mazda 6 a few years bacl and by the time I finished about 4 hours later with drying and a little wetsand and then a tad more touch up then wetsanding again.....probalby 3-4 times and then I cleared it and applied 2 coats of wax.

How's BMW's paint? I just bought their touch up kit yesterday with the clear coat they sell in a bundle.

I'll post some pics later tonight.

Here's the damage I was fortunate enough with enough elbow grease and lots of rubbing compound, various scratch removers, followed by polish, then some more rubbing compound to get most of the gray color from the other vehicle off. Of course a couple light coats of Meguairs after as well.

This is what remains.....




Any tips? I have the Alpine White color code 300 ready to go with the accompanying clear coat bottle just haven't applied yet wondering if there was a better way since the cuts are pretty deep.
