stupid, stupid, stupid...
I was pulling in my driveway, my sister's bf had his car parked in the way. I tried to squeeze past his car into my spot in the garage. I squeezed a little too much and I scraped the aluminum siding frame on the garage as I was pulling in. Right above the right rear wheel there is white paint from the garage frame. It doesn't feel like it went deep except for one little spot right above the wheelwell. Should I start saving for a new paint job, or do you think a buffer would take care of it. My friends say buff it. Man...I've only had the car 3 weeks.

How big a spot did it leave? You should be able to clean off the white paint right? Did you actually take any paint off the car? Sounds pretty minor from the way you described it - a whole new paint job is probably not called for. A bit of touch up paint if anything..

If you haven't hit metal and just damaged the clearcoat, you can either wax and buff for minor damage, or get a bodyshop to light sand and spray with clearcoat only.
If you've hit metal, then you've got bigger problems... Good Luck. VK |

Was the area then rub that baby with gasoline until your arm falls off. It'll clean the car right up.

Perhaps rubbing compound would be safer and easier on the paint.

i don't usually buy anything "as seen on tv" (ALL RIGHT, i'm a sucker for anything from the flat hoses to the bust enhanser pills i slip into the wife's coffee) but i did get the scratch remover tube stuff a few years ago at a discount store. of course, they don't take real scratches out, but they do a good job on stuff like paint. yeah, i can definately understand how you can get the paint from the garage on the car.
