Downed Power Lines and Bumper Accidents

I was going to go out today, and 5 minutes before I leave my power lines falls in my driveway.



Also, early today, I let my friend drive my car and he backed up into my basketball hoop, leaving a large spot of white paint.

It looks a lot worse than it actually is because of the camera flash, but it is an eyesore nonetheless.

Since I'm stuck at home I figured I'd try to find out how to take it off. I tried searching for a similar thread, but I couldn't find any that's helped me. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Alot of that blotch of white appears to be nothing more than slight paint transfer. I would start with a fine cut rubbing compound, and go to work. Buff until you remove all of the white paint, and then go back with a polishing compound to buff out the rest of the imperfections. Chances are, you will be left with a few minor scratches when your done.

Same thing happened to me. Go to your local parts store, pick up some Ultimate Compound from Meguiars. Will take that scuff off with some elbow grease.
