Minor Paint Repair on front bumper
I'm posting here because I have a C63 and I know you guys are very good at diy repairs.
I just noticed that someone backed into my wife's 2015 GLK350. I cleaned it up with WD40 and got all the black paint off the white. However, looks like it rubbed about a 3" x 2" spot of clear coat off the bumper.
Has anyone tried to repair this on their own. I did a paint repair on my wife's C300 a few years ago, but that one I primed, painted, and clear coated myself. Looked good. On this one I was thinking about hitting it with fine sand paper, then spray it with just clear coat.
Any advice welcome, thanks.

If it's down to the paint you can't just clear over it. You have to scuff or scotch brite before adding clear. You can put more clear over clear but if you hit base you have to base and clear. What color is it? A really good painter can do a small spot repair using fade out and buff it in. Best thing for you to do right now is don't touch it anymore. If you start sanding then you could leave a sanding mark when it finally does get painted if you don't know how to feather it out sanding.

Thanks for all the great advice. I cleaned it up really good and then waxed the area. It's not perfect but it's also not noticeable. I'll let it go as is.
