  • dent, crash, use of M40?

    There are sooo many damages on my car..
    So today I decided to take some photos and ask for help..


    Also the white car, I have already m105 the whole car(which takes me a whole day....)...So I don't have time for m205...
    Even though the car looks better than before, it is still not that shiny and glossy...
    m105 + wash + clay + wax for a whole day..is it too long??

    & please forgive my poor english..


    1. use of M40?which area should I use M40?If not, what should it use?
    I have tried M40 on b. , but it leaves some water mark...
    Am I using it not properly ?

    a & b


    c.


    d.


    e.



    2. There are so many little dents on the top of my car, and also the hood!
    (caused by hail..)
    Can I fix it myself?
    or Should I go to body shop and get fixed? would it be pricey?
    Also, does anyone know how much for front and rear bumper?(paint + labor + those 2 bumpers)



    3. Can I fix these myself..?Or go to body shop..?




    Thanks!

    Yikes! Those scrapes are going to need a body shop to repaint that area of the panel. They are well into the clear and some look down to the metal.

    I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.

    I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
    Remove swirls my friends.

      For The hail damage you should be able to go to a paintless dent repair shop.

      Those scratches would need a regular body shop.
      quality creates its own demand

        For your process, you should:

        Wash
        Clay
        M105
        M205
        Polish (optional step, use DC2 or M07)
        Wax

        That's just my opinion. Somebody else on here might think differently. And yeah, I don't think you're going to be able to fix those scratches and dings yourself. They look like they're going to have to be fixed by a body shop. Sorry!
