I accidentally scraped the side of my car(black Acura MDX) against a cement column(unpainted, natural finish) in a parking garage. In addition to a dent, there are white, streaky acratch marks. Is there something safe that I can used to remove the white streaks, or are the white streaks part of the finish that is now visible because the outer paint layer was scratched off? Thanks

Try Meguiars scratch x and follow to directions. If it does not work you need body work is their motto on bottle and true in my experience.

I have had great experience with it.
