| Scratched my car's back :(
Last night, I hit a wall when I was backing up.
How much would it cost?
Recommend me some bodyshop too.
Also can I just buy some spray and fix it?

Write-off for sure.
Jokes aside, doesn't seem TOO bad. You can call ASC collision, they've done some decent work for me in the past unless others have different recommendations.
Spraying it yourself will probably end up looking very poor since its over a somewhat large surface area. You would need to prep it pretty well to keep paint from chipping down the road.

Honestly, most of that might actually polish out, grab some Mothers fine cut cleaner from Canadian Tire and a couple good microfibers... apply elbow grease and a little polish (after cleaning the surface) and see how it goes. You might be surprised at the results...

Try a nice hand polish, youtube the right technique and you should see a big improvement

i think you could do it yourself. get some sand paper, buy a good polishing compound and rub really hard with microfiber.
also, one good way to "hide" the white scratch to blend in to the black colour is to use paint thinner. BUT ONLY if the rear bumper has not been repainted before. thats what i used when my friend bumped his x5 into a yellow post.

You're a new driver, and not really into cars or anything, so I would just leave it be. It's just cosmetic

Yup it'll cost ~350 for that. You can save some money if you want by removing/installing the bumper yourself.
