Door handle buffing/repair

Someone parked next to me at my apartment complex that opened their door on and hit my door handle pretty good. Is there someway that the door handles be cleaned up by buffing them? Or use any other product that might not require buffing. I get some pics up eventually.

It depends on the severity of the damage and if the paint has been marred. Won't know till you post some pics. Clay bar or a hand polish will remove paint transfer. You could try meguiar's scratch x 2.0 since it is cheap and over the counter. It will also hide and repair light surface scratches and swirls. To fix intermediate to severe marring a DA or Rotary polisher maybe needed. If you're a DIY'er you can buy the handle pre-painted for $13-$15 from Acura and replace it. You may want to post this in the wash and wax section you may receive a better response with different products and ideas then the ones I have listed.

Ok... here is some pics of the damage to the door handle. This area is definitely the plastic part of the handle.





And here's just a random shot
