    Hi guys,

    I was finally able to get my first car, a white 2014 Mazda 3. Fourth day pa lang niya I already had a minor "accident". While parking, I was so careless (and stupid), I hit the wall in front of the car. Please see the photos:

    The wall is painted grey/ dirty white. As seen in the photos, the wall's paint stuck on to the car. There are light scratches as well.

    How can I fix this? Of course I prefer to restore it to its original state/color. Do I bring it nalang to the casa or can you guys recommend a great auto paint shop? Around how much will it cost me kaya?

    I badly need need your help, guys! Thanks!

    Try using a scratch remover first use a finer one to see kung kaya mawala niyan or you can go to a detailing shop para mas maassess yung damage. All else fail casa na.

    if there are no dents and just the paint of the wall that got stuck on the car's paint, then you can buy the Mother's scratch remover and you can remove that with it using a MF towel. You just need a lot of patience and some force to remove those. You wont be successful on the 1-3 tries but you will see the improvement and on the 4-5th application, tanggal na yan without a trace.

    I use a polishing compound. Just rub it over the paint transfer.

    Ingat lang when using a polishing compound or a scratch remover. Paint tends to be thinner on the edges of the car's surface.
    Be slow and careful. Every once in a while, stop and inspect the surface and see if you're still working on the blemish or are already striking through the base coat.

    Rubbing compound and a lot of elbow grease. Rubbing / polishing compound can be bought at Ace Hardware to True Value.

    or if you can get a hold of a clay bar, you can remove some of the paint by running the clay bar over it. then polish to finish na lang.
