The guy at the bodyshop was not looking forward to doing it. He said he would do it as I am a loyal customer (read as: my wife crashes a lot).

Thanks for the advice, but when my employer is paying for the restoration and I prefer to get it done by professionals, it made sense to go this route in the end.


Cheers!

Who cares if it's more. He should have insurance. He needs to pay for it all plus a rental car.

If I was you id try claying a small section to see if it corrects the problem. If it does, get ready to spend a few hours using the traditional Clay bars. PM me and ill help you.
