the damage is not that bad, on another note where do you work, what do you do? and if you don't like your job, why not look for another one? I never did understand why people stick with a job they dread waking up to, just to make a couple bucks here and there.

Yeah damage wouldn't be bad and I wouldn't care but my bumper was repainted a month ago and it's perfect except for that.
I'm 16, work at a movie theater where I do all the bitch work, get complained to, get forced to wear goggles and clean windows , yeah the night this happend they made me wash windows outside wearing industrial goggles "for eye protection" I would quit and want to everyday but I can't find another job no ones hiring and even if they are they dont want a 16 year old.

Best results can be achieved with a high speed buffer/light compound which should make those scratches disappear. Find a parking spot where no one can get to you, if possible! Sorry bout your bumper!

I park on the top floor and as close to the edge of the "walk way" as possible i park in a spot that is in the end of the row and against a little marked off no parking walk way i guess so the car parked next to me on the left is a good 3 or 4 feet away so no dings can happen and i useually have my friend who drives a modded 350z park right up to me so neither of us get dings so this was some idiot turning down the ramp or backing out of a spot wayyyy to far or trying to park in that little walk way

The white stuff should just buff out. If you've never handled a buffing machine, then hand polish it. Try some cleaner wax and see what happens. The black mark is hard to tell. Might be black plastic on top of your paint or it's your black bumper showing though. If that's the case then obviously there's nothing you can do. You could try some colar matched touch up from the auto store and carefully brush it. But it won't be perfect. But it will hide the black mark.

Just to clear it up for everyone, i got most of the white off but thr is a scrape that is the grey primer showing thru then the black is my black plastic showing thru where the paint was taken off buffing can only do so much.

Might just want to leave it as it is for a little while and save to have it repaired. You could also give the body shop a call and see if this would be covered under their warranty for paint. They should have added enough flex agent to the bumper to prevent the spider webbing from a minor impact like this one.

I feel your pain. 10 days after I got my car back from the body shop for front end work, I came outside to find my car like this:

The body shop that did my bumper has worked with me a ton and done a lot of free work for me I don't wanna screw them cause someone hit me and I need someone to take it out on...But I will be going to him for an estimate and see what he says if he brings up a warranty then yeah.

Might as well wait. Judging by where you work, you might end up with another ding at any time.

When you're young like this guy or even around my age.. any kind of job no matter how much you dislike it is still a job. Doesn't matter if you hate it because you're still getting money and you might need the money to pay for everyday things.
