Thanks for all your replies and advice. I spoke to the Manager at the Lexus Collision Centre and he told me he would take a look at it and fix it NO CHARGE. :D (He saw the original mess before the repaint and was shocked too.)....I am kicking myself now I did not take any pictures. He mentioned buffing it out, wet sanding or orbital sander, but said he would need to see it in person to assess. Still nervous to proceed any further tho...since what happened last time I brought it in for a 'minor cosmetic repair'. :(

I think you are right...they definitely look like sanding paper marks. The marks are white, I can't really tell if it goes down to the base coat since the car is silver. A couple of sections look worse than others and are near the edge so I am nervous getting too aggressive with the buffing in case I remove all the clear coat. Sorry, I tried to take a picture but it did not turn out clear enough to see the damage...all that you could see were the white scuff lines... I will try 3m's scratch remover as you suggest and a good waxing once spring arrives. I also read about a product "Mothers Sealer and Glaze" perhaps this might work as well. Thanks for your advice.

Hi Everyone, I am new to this forum, and I would appreciate any advice.... I just bought a used 2008 RX350 from a dealer. As part of the purchase, Lexus dealer agreed to paint the bumpers (previous owner was a "touch parker") The used car section of this dealership does not use the Lexus Collision repair shop. (I found this out after I tried to complain to the service department) The body shop they used made a major MESS. (large 1 1/2 inch blob of dried paint, painted over dirt, scuff plate installed crooked and falling off, paint line down entire length of bumper, sections left with raw paint, no clear coat, paint inside the car, over spray everywhere) It was shocking to see the mess they created. After a repaint...now the body shop scratched the clear coat along the edge of my vehicle. Bumper looks good, but now I have white hazing along the edge of my body where the bumper attaches to my car. It looks like they sanded my car!! Dealership has wiped their hands of this...told me to leave it, nothing they can do. Can anyone suggestion how I can polish this up without further damaging my car? I am nervous of further damage. Are there any products out there that I can polish, or wax and fill the scratches so they no longer appear white and hazy. Thanks for all your suggestions.
