What is "Buff Right Out"
I have heard many people say, my car got scratched/keyed... bla bla bla luckily it buffed right out.
What kinds of scratches are these? And what do you use to buff them out? Reason Im asking is that the some a-hole contractor (who is working at my neighbors) walked past my car and scratched the fender. Ofcourse they will not admit to it and I cant go jack. Its pretty small... did not reach the metal (however it did go to the white stuff (primer im guessing)
Is this the job for rubbing compound? Or what. Im very curious if stuff like this will "buff right out" =(

that term can mean alot of things
to me it usually refers something on the paint like a rubber mark or even another cars paint that you can get off yourself. it also can mean scraches in the clear coat not the actual paint. a compound is used to fill in the scratches either by hand or machine.
basically its a scratch you can "fix" yourself with out need of bodywork or touch up paint
its also used sarcastically like if you have a huge dent or scratch or even a totaled car someone would say " that will buff right out" being a smart ***
the only way to tell what can be dont about your scratch is to see pictures

Buff right out is almost always a sarcastic remark.
As for your scratch, my wife just had the same thing happen to her car. Looks like someone's bag rubbed against her door and had something metal make a scratch. I'm not sure how to proceed either.

even if it is deep, it should make the scratch less noticable.

Hehe, yeah like this one should buff right out.
