Car Damage - Plan of attack!

Re: Car Damage - Plan of attack!

I've got tears in my eyes after seeing the before and afters!!! Great job bro.

I second that question regarding the ScratchX. I was wondering if you used a DA or by hand? I'm debating whether or not to use the D/A, if it's too aggressive (and if it's not, how much pressure to apply), or just go by hand........

TIA

Now you can send your insurance company a bill for say... $1500 and when they pay you, you blow all the money on more Meg's products...woohoo

Did you apply the Scratchx by hand or did you use a DA? The results look phenomenal. If you did it by hand, what did you use to apply the Scratchx, how many times did you apply it?

Dude that is pure awesomeness!!! I had no idea damage like this could be "cleaned" off cars =P This is mind boggling to me, being the complete car detailing / car paint person I am!!!!

Great save! Glad the recommendations worked out for you.
Stick around MOL and you will find plenty of good advice to apply to your Scion.

Re: Car Damage - Plan of attack!

Haha... yes it is a Scion TC.... I've had it almost 3 years and only issue was a minor door ding... and then this big one! :-( The paint on this car has held up really well though. Once a year I do a full detail and it looks brand new when im done with it.

I'm going to try and tackle the repair tomorrow and will post some updated photos.
