Hit and Run!

So some ****** did a hit in run on my MCS while it was parked (unwitnessed). Of course that lot has no security cameras.
Any recommendations for a fix?

Ahhh sorry to hear/see this. People can be terrible sometimes. Hopefully the paint tranfer can be taken care of easily and see a paintless dent removal guy for the ding.

PDR on the ding, and polishing compound to remove the scuff, then polish. Might not be perfect, but chances are nobody else would notice.

I don't believe that small dent can be PDR'd... too close to the edge of the body panel. Hope I'm wrong. Worth asking your local PDR expert, for sure.

Like mentioned above get it looked at by a pdr. He might even be able to buff that other paint off for you. If not meg's ultimate compound should get it off. Might leave some holograms (not sure on the blue) if so get something with less cut like M205 to finish it off.
