I did the same thing after having my car for a week or so....I backed directly into a concrete wall while my TL was barely moving. The only way you can see it is in direct sunlight and you almost have to feel it first with your hand to get the right spot.

I just washed and Zaino'd the hell out of it a few weeks ago and it's barely noticeable. It didn't get below the paint though.

My damage was really, really, really minor. It wasn't scratched much at all as I hit the wall flush at a 90 degree angle with my bumper.

If it's not that noticeable, I would just wash and apply a few coats of Zaino and see how it looks.

I just chalked it up as a rookie TL driver mistake as I was unfamiliar with the rear end length...hell, sooner or later something was going to happen to it. I followed that up with a door ding a week or so ago.....drives me crazy but oh well.

Good luck
