i went to my grandparents house and parked on the street. 2hrs later, i leave and walk to my car. i walk to the other side and see tire-rub mark and a dent the size of a tennis ball in my right front fender. i just stood there and stared for about 5 mins. i was like **** and i drove home. got home, cleaned off all the tire-rub marks off with simple green and now im just left with a dent in my fender, a 2 inch scratch in my paint and the very end of my door bumbper guard scraped off. its alright but should i fix the scratch right away? will it rust or anything? also, should i paint it professionally or just use touch up paint? thanks.

If you have the money, get it repaired. It will rust if you dont have a nice coat of wax on it
