Paint transfer and scratches...sigh

Well, surprisingly I am taking this quite well. my car has been abused that last 5 months. rear-end. dealer rashed my front rim just yesterday and today this. JK life goes on. and this doesnt look to bad so trying to stay optimistic. The fender is all I care about at this point. The bumper is set to be replaced from prior rear end so Im good there. Please someone soothe me and tell me what to do. and who to use.

The fender looks to be superficial. Light compound and polish. Good as new.

OP, stop by Detailers Domain and have them take a look at it and get their best recommendation on the fix. You will spin your wheels trying to buy products to fix it...let the pros handle it

All of that looks pretty mild.

First wipe everything down with 90% rubbing alcohol. That will remove alot of the black marks.

Then some polishing compound and rubbing compound. (Use polishing compound first since its milder, see how well it does). For any stubborn marks, try alittle rubbing compound but be careful with the rubbing compound)
