Default Buffed it today and QUESTION!

DIE SWIRLS








So yeah. Some cunt hit my right door a while ago.


Since it is on the bodyline, is it going to be more difficult than a regular dent the same size say 3 inches below where mine is? When i buffed it today, I got a lot of the black paint out of it so there wasn't really a scratch in there- jsut the dent. Do they still have to drill holes to pop it out? I don't have a lot of money. I just spent it on a buffer

I had one very similar massaged out & you can't even see it now. Looks great. It's hard to tell by the pictures you posted but it almost looks like there's a crease in the bodyline & a dent right above. Regardless it'll look a lot better than it does now even if they can't get it all the way out. BTW- they didn't drill any holes.

I cant see the pics at work, but the Dent Wizard took a door
ding the size of a quarter out of my car for $100.
You absolutly cant tell there was a dent there.
It was a small tight dent too.
He thought it wouldnt come out because small ones stretch the metal.
He said bigger ones are easier.
Dent Wizard, Ding King, ect...

To answer you question about drilling the hole. No, he would more than likely go through the top where your window is. I had a dent removed from damn near the same spot, and it came out great. Can't even tell it was there!

WHen i washed the car, I didn't really see any water beading- even though I waxed it like 4 weeks ago. It probably had so much oxidation that it wouldn't absorb the wax? So I just said screw it. I used a clean maguire's application wax pad and put turtle wax "polish" on by hand, then buffed it evenly with a 20 dollar 10'' buffer I got from wal mart, and since it looked like it was going to rain in the next hour, which it did! made my car look like shit) i didn't bother switching out the buffing pads so I had a friend wipe the car down with a clean terry clotch towel that came in the mother's clay bar kit in straight lines, not circles. If a 20-year-old that-knows-nothing-about paint and cars can do it, you can do it too. You just have to be patient, and not have man hands. (hurt cats on accident when you pick them up)
If you really wanna do your car good, you can use paint cleaner, then a polish. It all depends on how bad your paint is to begin with. I'd rather be lazy. My car needed more than a hand wax, so I went back a step.

Where I pulled off the DODGE and SRT-4 emblems off the trunk, you can still see it. Its like an orange- I'm thinking about buying new emblems and getting a caliber one for the right side.

I was so suprised about how dirty the thing got after I was done.

I have never put a buffer to my paint, ever. I daily drive my car and I have zero swirls. I have tried practically every product and found that Zaino is the absolute best, in my opinion. My car looks absolutely soaking wet and has no swirls or fine scratches.

What he used was an ORBITAL WAXER, ...NOT a high speed buffer, as they can make a real mess out of a paintjob, by the inexpierenced.


Nice work btw.
