When I park in the driveway and open my door, if it even touches my wife's car it leaves an ugly mark. Now her door is covered with them and she's really pissed off! Can anyone help me? Is there a solvent or something that can help?

If it's just a mark on the door, you can use a bit of lacquer thinner, then a light polish followed with some wax. We call this a "paint transfer".

Yes and Meguire's Scratch X will do as well if you don't have or feel comfortable using thinner.

I should also mention that any decent bodyshop will likely do it for you for free. It takes about 5 minutes.

Free? These days?
