I recently had one of the rear corners of my scraped by another vehicle, the marks aren’t significant whatsoever but I would like to have them treated nonetheless. I’m hoping someone with a trained eye and with experience in this area can gauge how much I should be quoted.

Thank you

Try some good cutting polish on that first, looks like it would come out?

Perhaps a vehicle bodyshop might be a good place to start?

First thing to do is wash the car so you can see the marks properly

might sound daft but until its washed properly we can't see how bad it is

Then have a go at polishing it with autoglym super resin polish
It may need rubbing quite hard to remove paint transfer

If that doesn't work try turtle wax t cut for metallic paint it's a bit more aggresive but don't go too mad

If all else fails look for a detailer near you but tell them you don't want full works done

From what I can see a machine polish would probably make it look a lot better
