Unhappy Driveway scrapes...

So I was making a k-turn in my neighborhood the other day by going through some person's driveway which didn't seem so high at all, but before I realized, BAM. Heard some serious scraping. At first I thought it was just the air dam, but when I got out of the car I felt some nasty scrapes from under the front bumper... Pretty deep too... Not too noticeable when you look at the car, but i know it's there (and feeling some guilt about it too) Some paint was hanging off but no exposed undercoating.

I was planning to get opti-coat for my car before this happened, so I've decided to repair his myself, mind you this will be my first time doing a scratch repair that will require some sanding/polishing. Any tips/cautions that I should look out for? What materials and steps would I need for a nice turnout? Would I need one of those porter cable buffers?

Looked up some sites like eHow and the like, but I'm not fully satisfied with their directions. I'm just afraid I'll mess up =/

my beautiful pearly white... =[
