I'm literally crying at my own stupidity right now: I was pulling out of my driveway (tight space next to a brick wall) when I managed to scratch the front of my car pretty badly (see attached photo* - the wall got a good scrape too). I'm fairly new to driving and know very little about cars, only that repairing them costs a fortune 😖Am absolutely gutted as I was already worried about how the hell I'm going to afford Christmas, and now this.
Looking at the damage, can anyone with superior car knowledge advise on whether this is something I can try to polish up myself (and if so, how/what to use), or whether a trip to the garage is essential? I'm guessing it'll go rusty and cause worse damage if I leave it? Any guidance hugely appreciated!
