Each state is a little different, In pa you need min 3 years body shop exp or technical school and then you must pass a test 85 % or higher on collision damage and Insurance law.

Re: It's a jeep thing

since your inbox is full...

little off from what you're doing, but the passenger side mirror on my car is screwy. What I mean is, these are the mirrors that rotate in case you hit something, the other day, while washing my car, I noticed the mirror just freely moves, there's no pressure on it to keep it centered. Luckily it stays while driving, but it feels like an interior spring might be broken, although I have no clue how they work. Got any idea?

When they get to that point there done internal plastic parts and worn out or broken. 3 options 1. new oem, 2 recycled, 3 new a/m after market, What you have is a folder but mirrors can be very complex poss options 1. folding,2 pwr folding,3 heated , 4 power, 5 with puddle, 6 with memory, 7 textured, 8 paint to match 9. with signal, tahoes and suburbans. having all the info will help when calling around.

Re: It's a jeep thing

This jeep is no where even ready to think meguires (isn't this a detailing forum)?! I don't doubt the magic of meguires, but it's not helping that jeep! secondly, why all this work, not just replace it?! Is it a rare edition, or possess sentimental value? Maybe owned by someone famous?! Those Jeeps are pretty affordable.. Plus, won't it never be as strong once it's been all cut up and re welded?!

A. This Vehicle is well within the limits of being cost effective to repair and the owners Insurance company has Inspected the damage and totally agrees with my Estimate and Blue print of the Repairs.
B. All areas being sectioned are being done on factory seems and using approved welding technique by ICAR who's standards are approved by the mfg.
C.I would never put a vehicle back on the road I would not trust my own family's safety in.
D. Because of my job and experience I have had several members ask me questions on painting there vehicles and what goes under the paint and why, so I am just sharing my experience with them.

O.K. Good points! BUT, this would be better off in a auto body forum, VICE an auto detailing forum.. I expect to see PAINT in horrible condition, maybe 2 year old fries in interiors, NOT a totaled vehicle undergoing bosy work.. Like I origionaly said, Meguiars cant do anything for this thing..
