Default Scuff Marks on my Civic-HELP!

Hey everyone.. I have a bit of a problem and i was hoping that someone could possibly help me. I parked my 2001 honda civic coupe in my Universities parking lot, and when I came out to it, it was evident that someone had hit it. The driver's side door and the left side of the front fender are scuffed black ( most likely from the paint of the other car), and it's pretty bad. My paint was not scratched off from my car, and there are no dents in the door or the fender, so I am really hesitent to take it into the dealer to get repaired because I know they will charge me and arm and a leg, just when it needs to be buffed out. Does anyone know ANY way I can get rid of these scuff marks on my car!? My friend told me that I can wax it out, but I'm not so sure about that. PLEASE HELP!!!

Buff it out.

Get a little buffer from AutoZone or HomeDepot or something... should come out if it's just in the paint.

3M has a very good line of products that would help you. I would take a look into the rubbing compound they offer.
