Default scraches

Well I finally got home and looked at the cars.I had to do more rubbing and buffing,(the dealer didn't do that great of a job).It turned out great on the 06 .The 2000 looks good too.
What a releif.
I'm a little disappointed with the job the dealership did,I guess you don't get much for 125.00.

How bad were the scratches? I'm guessing they weren't deep enough to penetrate the clear coat. The reason I'm asking is because I though mine were pretty bad but it turned out the dealer just had to buff it out and they did it free of charge.

Glad to hear the dealership took care of it bro. Keep a better eye out for inanimate objects looking to touch your new ride!

The 06 isn't bad at all,it all came out.My 2000 has two hairline scraches in the clear coat each are about a foot long.If you didn't know they were there you wouldn't see them.I really need to wet sand , buff and polish to get it perfect,but i'm not a body man.

Thanks, just happy that none of it was permanent. I've got to be more careful.

4thone - Good to know that it wasn't anything serious.
