Default BAD injuries on tC. Help?

The scratch on the right-back rim has an insane scratch on it.. I was turning right on a corner and I felt my car hit the curb a little and didn't think much of it. I just now discovered this on my rim...


and this... I am turning right once again, and this dude from a downhill turn runs into my bumper. As I slowly turn right, this guy zooms down and turns right into me and he runs away.



Anyone have ANY ideas or tips on how to fix these or at least hide them..?

The scratches on the fender look like they could be compounded and buffed out. The wheel rash can't really be fixed (at least by you). I wouldn't worry about it, it doesn't look that bad. If that's not a show car, don't even sweat it.

Hmm, the scratches make me feel so bad. I'm depressed now. As for the compound and buffing, will I have to get the Scratch-X or do you think the Zaino Show Car Polish for Swirl Marks and Fine Scratches will work? and for something like buffing out a scracth, what kind of towel is ideal?
Isn't there a way to round out the scrape on that rim and make it look like it wasn't there?
Thanks for the reply and help.
