Yeah, sucks that it had to happen to you. Just curious what that repair involves...buff and shine or more?
not sure, hopefully just a buff....

looks like that can be buffed out. you should think about getting a clear bra that thing does wonders. when my clear bra was keyed, the marks rubbed right off with my finger. check out the pictures from a thread of mine "got keyed". you can see my front fender comparing that with my passenger door, the key mark on the clear bra is barely noticeable.

alright, so after a few PM's with members elite_motorsports_BMW and alexf9496 I decided to try and fix the scuff myself. Elite suggested some turtle was polishing compound and a finishing wax. Went to autozone to pick up the tutlewax polishing compound. Could not find a finishing was aside from 3m, asked for some help. The sales rep there turns out to be an auto detailer as well (exchanged cards). Went outside to take a look at my scuffs said, said for $20 he'll use some 3M rubbing compound and use a buffing rag to take it off. Here's the finished product...
As you can see, I am good to go.
Thanx to all the members for pushing me to get 'er done myself....
