I'm not sure how many layers it has gone through, I have attached a few pictures. Does it appear that the other paint has just rubbed off? If I buff it and then polish and wax should it be ok?

SOrry if this is the wrong section to put this in.

 

Clean with car soap as much as possible. Avoid moving in circles. Move in straight lines. Get all the crud out as much as possible. Use rubbing compound on a microfiber towel to clean it out. That can be done in circles. If you want to invest in a head light restoration kit from 3m that has a nice foam cutting pad that works well. That will be able to get the scratches out. Make sure it hasn't dug into the paint or else its going to eat through while using the foam cutting pad. Beyond that, message back if you need more detail.

 

you should just try to remove the paint transfer.

and if it scratched your paint, you will know as thats plastic underneath and will show black.

I'm positive that most of it is paint transfer from the other car. which can come off.

 

Perfect thanks guys. Rubbing compound is okay to go in circles? Just be careful right? It's the stuff that is more abrasive than polish compound? I haven't done any paint/polish/wax work to this extent so just a bit nervous about going too deep.

 

^his advice is pretty hard to follow.

all you have to do is take a clean cloth, soap and water and some elbow grease. you'll be able to wash away the paint transfer.
any stubborn paint will go away when you "buff it" "polish it" and wax it.

MOST OF IT looks like paint transfer.
but there could be some scratches. you'll know its a scratch if you see black.

 

Sounds good. I will give it a try this weekend when I have a free afternoon to do it all!

Cheers

 

Yeah its as little bit on the detailed side. Yeah try what justn said. If it doesn't work jump back on here and we'll figure it out.

 

Most of it looks like paint transfer.

I would try clay first and really work it... not in terms of applying pressure but with multiple passes. Once all the foreign paint is off, then take a look to see what else needs to be done. If there are any scratches, inspect with your hands and if it can be felt, I would either live with it or take it to a pro. If the scratches are shallow enough and cannot be felt, get some polishing compound like Meg's Ultimate Compound and put some elbow grease on it. Use a foam or MF applicator to apply. MF applicator is more aggressive than foam so inspect often to see how it is working. Compound should be removed while still wet and you do not want this to dry.

Since your car is white, it is unlikely that even if any hazing occurs with compounding, you would be able to see it. If it does, just follow up with a light polish like Meg's Ultimate Polish to bring back the shine.

When all is done, you will need to wax it.

 

^i feel that underneath the paint transfer, there will be minute scratches all the way to the black bumper.

I would not use touch up paint for that!

 

Danny, I hope you were able to fix your bumper.

I scratched my bumper (A-spec kit) because it is so low to the ground. I drove to far over the concrete parking stop and realized I was on it, and it was too late! I scratched my bumper with the concrete, and it was deeper than Danny's photos.
I sanded, and painted it with Oem exact match paint code. It looks much much better, and maybe good enough to leave, but if you look closely, you can see the lines, and indention from the deep scratches. I did not use rubbing compound , only tried to sand it. Can I go back and use the rubbing compound on the areas that look like they need to be filled in. Looks like they need a filler or something, and then I can repaint it. How long do I need to wait to use the rubbing compound to fill the small areas? I painted it last night and did not spray any clear coat on it.
Thanks.

 

Compound does not fill

 

Thanks, I found out it is plastic/bumper body filler that I need.
