Got off from work & saw this...>:( **PICS**
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.
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!

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.

I don't want it to look halfass :/ can bodyshops touch it up and like blend the paint it so it looks perfect?
trying to keep it under $200 since anything over i might as well wait for some rock chips & a few more uh oh's and repaint my whole bumper for $400
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:

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.
