It finally happened

So it finally happened. After 5 months of owning her, someone put a scratch in Nicci. So sad. Do y'all think it'll buff out?

I think that it will mostly buff out, but not all the way. Finish it off with something like drcolorchip and it wont be noticable at all.

Definitely a scratch and not transfer? If so, it'll need some paint. You can make it look very good if you take your time.

Depending on how deep that is, it might just come off. How did it happen? I just helped another local Camaro owner with a "scratch" that turned out to be simply paint transfer. 5 minutes and I had it GONE.

If you want some free help, please let me know. I can't be all that far away from you.

How many people did you have to kill, and did you already talk to your defense attorney?

I was at UCF doing some schoolwork and I came back out to the car. Someone opened their door into it. I looked and it wasn't the guy next to me because he was parked in the wrong direction for his door to have hit it like that.

Unfortunately there wasn't anything to be done at that point. I have no idea who it was.

It could be mostly paint transfer. Clay bar and some gentle polish might solve the issue. I'm in Avalon Park, so anytime you want to swing by, just call or text me and we'll make it happen.
