Black car small dent and white mark left

My car door got a hit i guess from another door. There is a small dime size dent. In the dent there is a small scuff or paint abrasion don't know for sure. The car is black and the mark is white in color. I have no polisher, want to know if a silicon product like color magic would work in removing the white mark? If the mark is a scuff in the paint should i retouch it with a paint pen or leave it to rust?

Is the paint intact or is it scrapped to the metal ?, from what I understand theres white paint form t he other car on it, if it is just a scuff mark. Just use a polish to remove the white paint and re apply a wax after you polish that area.

90% says its a scuff mark. Get Meguiar's ScratchX from an autoparts store, use it to rub out the white paint. The ding will have to be professionally removed, but with the white paint gone it'll be very hard to notice.

One of my cars also got "hit" by a white car when the wife took it shopping. I was able to remove the scuff mark but the dent !@#$^*.

49er- I usually remove paint transfers with clay, then follow with polish as needed.

And have a paintless dent removal (PDR)l tech take out the dent. Probably $30-$40.
