Kev, sorry to hear what happen to your car. You bought so much detailing stuff to make it looks nice! Don't let this put you off waxing your car!

If the paint was intact, i think they can pull or hammer the panel out. However, if there is paint damage, the safest bet is a respray!
Same happens to me all the time. You can park your car miles away from a supermarket entrance but you will always find another dirty car parking next to you even when there are loads of space around.

On one occasion my brother got so annoy with a 4x4 that he left a note to the driver parking next to him---Why the f*** did you park your piece of s*** next to me!

That's why I like taking my old folks out cause they both got blue badges!

Thanks for your thoughts  :smiley: Fingers crossed it can be knocked back out, doesnt look like there is any paint damage, but I'm no expert on this.

Totally love the note that was left, thats class.  :grin:

Dent fixed by Dentmaster today, honestly, wow what a bloody good job, you could never tell there was ever a dent there in the first place  :shocked: I actually was that happy I didnt realise the results would be so dramatic. Looks like a new wing.

Just got those little light scratches on the door, the genius of a guy said that it would probably be best to polish those scratches out with a machine rather than by hand. He said try by hand anyway, and If I get no joy I've to ring him and he'll give me a contact for that job too if I need him.

I'm made up  :smiley:

Will post up before and after pics tomorrow.

Nah not at all, was very reasonably priced. Yeah it only took him a couple of mins with us.
