Will professionally buffing fix my car?

My car had a *tiny* run in with a wood pole in a parking lot and took a little bit of it's white paint. Then there is also all the damn little scrathes all over. OH yeah, and the paint that is coming off on the bumper (I know that one wont' be fixed with that). Do you guys think taking it to get professionally done will help?

They can only remove the swirl marks and minor ones. If it is acutally paint that has been removed. Try having them use touch up paint and then wetsand and compound it. That sometimes will work very well, but it depends on the skill level of the detailer.

There are some folks out and around that will do small touch up and paint work on bumpers. These folks specialize in small bumper "spray" jobs and generally have a small truck or van with a sprayer and can fix small scratches and other damage in bumpers.

Check around and get the name of one of these "Bumper" paint/repair guys/chains in your area.

I believe Dent Wizards in Torrance might be able to give you the name of a guy in the Los Angeles area that is supposed to be pretty good. 800-679-3368

Here is a link to "one" place to give you an idea of what's out there (San Diego and Los Vegas -- sorry):

That's amazing. I'll have to find that one in LA, but this is more amazing for my mom's car when she backed into another car and took a chunk out of her bumper on a brand new car

Thanks
