Paint scuffs on fender

Hey everyone- I just received some wonderful white paint scuffs on the front left fender as an early birthday present- and while the white on Teak is a great contrast, I would really like to get rid of it.

Any suggestions on how? It doesn't seem too deep, but I definitely have no idea how to fix and definitely don't want to have to get the quarter panel repainted.

thanks!

Try the quixx scratch fix kit. You can buy it at Walmart. It's a two step process

with out photos or physically seeing the damage it would be difficult for anyone to advise properly.

It is possible clay would work but as others said- we need pics of the damage.

Yep, need pics.

But if the white paint comes off with finger nail, you can compound it off, but use a rag first not a buffer or drill.

Sorry guys.

Pics would be nice wouldn't they? Hopefully these show some detail. Tried scraping with my fingernail, and it didn't do much.

hard to tell by those pics, but looks to be surface scratches and same simple paint swap...

microfiber cloth and some rubbing alcohol first to see if any of the paint comes off... gently and litely glide over the scrapes and see if anything comes off... if nothing does go on to a lite compound and put the wheel on it with 2500-3000 rpm do not apply too much pressure ~5-6lbs.
