My buddy gave me a 'kit' he made with matching paint he mixed up at his shop, a buffer, several wheels/pads, sandpaper, compound and some clear coat. And some detailed advice.
I used a razor blade to remove the piece of paint that was dangling, and left that void. It would need filler to do much with it, I opted not to mess with it. I followed his instructions, but could def see where experience on this work counts for a lot. My admitted hack job now keeps me from seeing the damage at a distance, it doesn't draw your eye. Remember this is an up close high def pic; stand further away and it almost disappears. Its only an ~80% repair, but I'm fairly happy with it (for free anyway). And I learned something!
In fact, I kept his buffer so that I can maybe smooth out some scuffs on our other car... That compound does amazing things...

Nice!
... so you got it back 80%. I predicted 95% ... It's fine. Looks good.
And guess what: it will happen again!
