Hi Phil,

I was hoping to get a professional opinion on a nice ding the dealer left on my car today when I brought it in for service. I'm sure its hard to tell from my horrible pictures.

I know its probably optimistic to think that it can be fixed, but do you think some compound and a polisher could reduce a percentage of it?

Is it worth me trying to take it to a professional detailer in town (there are only 2 that I know of) And I've never been to either. Here is one I was thinking of http://www.fari.ca/

I don't want the car door painted... they will probably just make it worse.

Help!


I recently picked up a Portercable 7424xp, and some lake country pads,
I got 1 greenfoam all in one pad, 1 white polishing pad (says very light cutting power) and a black finishing pad.
I also have a small 8oz bottle of meguires 205 and meguires ultimate compound.

I have watched several videos on youtube of how to section off and do some basic paint correction, but have never done it myself. Wondering if its worth trying or best left to a pro.

All the best,
