Default Front lip scrape

UH, OH.....rookie mistake.
Pulled in too far and scraped front lip on concrete curb.
It isn't real noticable but I am bummed.
It is definately roughed up along that edge for 24" or so.

Advice? Can I smooth it out without doing more damge? Just ignore it? Dealer help?

Thanks,

Jake

Will try and take some pics today.
It isn't bad but can be seen from the front as rough, not smooth.
How did you smooth it out?

Do you know how to properly wetsand? I would start there and work up to a good compound and a wool pad on a high speed... but that will all depend on deep the scratches are. If you scraped off the paint then you'll need to either get it resprayed or....... just leave it
